biology week 3.1 (other tissues) term 1

areolar connective tissue

• Found just beneath the skin and lining most epithelial surfaces, this tissue acts as a vital link CONNECTING VARIOUS ORGANS

areolar connective tissue

It OCCUPIES THE GAPS between organs and muscles, as well as surrounding muscles and blood vessels, providing structural support and flexibility.

areolar connective tissue

This tissue features a LOOSELY structured network of connective fibers

macrophages

• act as defenders against pathogens

mast cells

key players in triggering inflammation

fat cells

responsible for energy storage

adipocytes

what are fat cells also known as

fibroblasts

• the architects behind FIBER and MATRIX production

collagen fibers

• lending tensile (stretchy) STRENGTH AND DURABILITY

where is ur strength and durability most challenged?

elastic fibers

• granting STRETCH AND RECOIL capabilities

areolar connective tissue

Suspended in a viscous, jelly-like medium, it houses four types of living cells and two kinds of non-living fibers: macrophages, mast cells, fat cells, fibroblasts, collagen fibers, elastic fibers

dense white fibrous connective tissue

Found in the dermis of the skin and in tendons

dense white fibrous connective tissue

Attaches muscles to bones

dense white fibrous connective tissue

Tightly packed in parallel bundles with a SHINY APPEARANCE

dense yellow fibrous connective tissue

Found exclusively within ligaments

dense yellow fibrous connective tissue

Functions as a bridge linking one bone to another

dense yellow fibrous connective tissue

LIMITES EXCESSIVE BONE MOVEMENT to safeguard against joint dislocation during everyday activities

dense yellow fibrous connective tissue

Composed primarily of white collagen fibers intertwined with a mesh of yellow elastic fibers.

adipose tissue

located beneath the skin, AROUND THE HEART, and other organs

adipose tissue

functions as insulation and fat storage

(tissue)

hyaline cartilage

A translucent, resilient tissue providing smooth surfaces for joint movement.

white fibrous cartilage

Dense, tough CARTILAGE that offers strong support and WITHSTANDS pressure

yellow elastic cartilage

Flexible CARTILAGE rich in elastic fibers, allowing for shape retention and elasticity.

bone

the rigid, mineralized connective tissue forming the skeleton and supporting the body structure.

hyaline cartilage

is found at bone ends in joints, parts of the larynx, trachea and bronchi walls, between ribs and sternum, and on the nose tip.

perichondrium

• hyaline cartilage is Surrounded by a FIBROUS CAPSULE called the ___, which contains blood vessels for nutrition

chondrocytes

the hyaline cartilage is Composed of living cells called ___

chondrin

Chondrocytes produce a rubbery matrix called __

hyaline cartilage

Keep tubes open (e.g., C-shaped rings in the trachea) (can also be chondocytes)

fibrocartilage

Found as CUSHIONING PADS nestled between the vertebrae.

fibrocartilage

Connects the pubic bones at the front of the pelvic girdle, enhancing stability.

fibrocartilage

Act as shock absorbers between vertebrae.

lacunae

Chondrocytes sit alone or in groups inside SMALL FLUID SPACES called ___

locoloco

elastic cartilage

is found in the earlobe, nose tip, epiglottis, and nasal septum.

elastic cartilage

unlike hyaline cartilage, this Features a semi-transparent, gel-like matrix.

compact bone

 Occur in the bones of the skeleton

osteocytes

bone cells present in the matrix

hint: matrix → code → smart → science → miles from tomorrowland → ostrich

haversian canal

contents include Artery, vein, and nerve

hint: have some asian

lamellae

RINGS formed around the Haversian canal

meristematic tissue

this eventually turns into a permanent tissue

meristematic tissue

commonly found near the roots of a plant

adipose cells

• large, round cells filled with fat or oil
