3
New cards

four major types of tissues in the body

– Epithelial

– Connective

New cards

Location of epithelial tissues

37
New cards

connective tissues

– Function: bind, support, protect, fill spaces, source fats, produce blood cells

– Location: widely distributed through throughout the body

– Distinguishing characteristics good blood supply, further apart than epithelial cells with extra cellular matrix in between

38
New cards

categories of connective tissues

– Connective tissue proper

– Specialize connective tissues

39
New cards

three major cell types of connective tissues image

knowt flashcard image
40
New cards

three major cell types of connective tissues

– fibroblasts

– Macrophages(histiocytes)

– Mast cells

41
New cards

fibroblast

– Star shaped, secret fibers in the extra cellular matrix

42
New cards

macrophages (histiocytes)

– Perform phagocytosis(eating)

– Important for immunity

43
New cards

mast cells

– Release heparin: prevents blood

–histamine: inflammatory response

44
New cards

fibroblast produced three types of fibers and connective tissue

  1. Collagen fibers

  2. Elastic (yellow) fibers

  3. Reticular fibers

45
New cards

collagen fibers

– Thick, strong, main structural protein in body found in tendon/ligaments

46
New cards

elastic (yellow) fibers

– Very stretchy, can return to original shape

– Found in vocal cords and respiratory airways

47
New cards

reticular fibers

– Thin branches of collagen found in spleen/liver

48
New cards

Loose connective tissues

– Pure collagen, fibers than dense tissues

– Types: Areolar, adipose, reticular
