Lab 4 - Tissues

Dense Elastic CT

found in the aorta and other larger arteries

3 types of muscle tissue

Smooth, Cardiac, Skeletal

Loose Adipose CT

Tissue most involved with lipid storage.

Dermis

Tissue that we inject ink into for a tattoo

Loose Areolar CT

the "glue" that holds most other tissues together

Blood

CT that is fluid and moves throughout the body

Collagen

pink, strong fiber, thick

Elastin

stretchy, thin and dark

Monocyte

WBC that kills and eats debris and pathogens; macrophage

Fibroblast

Makes fibers

Loose Areolar CT

glue that holds things together, packages organs, holds capillary beds, random organization

Vacuole

storage area

Loose Adipose CT

large vacuole containing lipids, nucleus to the side, acts as padding, filler, and insulation; located behind eyeballs, on heart, around kidneys, abdomen, gluteal region, and mammary region

Loose Reticular CT

framework of lymphatic immune system; located in spleen, thymus, lymph nodes

Dense Regular CT

fibers run in the same direction; found in tendons and ligaments of elbows and knees; made of densely packed collagen

Ligament

bone to bone

Tendon

muscle to bone

Dense Irregular CT

collagen fibers that run in multiple directions; found in tendons and ligaments of ball and socket joints; makes up dermis of skin

Dense Elastic CT

lots of elastin; located in large artery walls near the heart and large bronchial walls

Nuchal ligament

back of neck; helps hold head

Dense Regular CT

what tissue makes up the aponeuroses at the ends of long bones

Loose Areolar CT

What tissue contains elastin, collagen, fibroblasts, and. monocytes

lymphatic system/immune system

Name the fiber known for its stretchiness

Tendons and ligaments of the wrist joint

Name one place in the body you would find Dense Irregular CT

Thymus, spleen, lymph nodes

Where would you find Loose Reticular CT in the body?

Dense Elastic CT

What CT allows for stretch and recoil to help the heart force out blood to body?
