45
New cards

embryonic mesenchyme (under loose)

gives rise to all other connective tissue types

if this doesn’t develop, we don’t. this is what we grow on

46
New cards

loose areolar

wraps and cushions organs; its macrophages phagocytize bacteria; plays important role in inflammation; holds and conveys tissue fliud

mostly non cellular

lots of ground substance with some fibers

47
New cards

50
New cards

dense irregular

able to withstand tension exerted in many directions; provides structural strength

there are mulitple points of stress

51

57
New cards

osteocyte and osteoblast are both

mitotic

58
New cards

bone, osseous

compact and spongy

both come from osteoblasts and become an osteocyte

function: bone supports and protects (by enclosing) provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis)

viseral layer connected to organ, move with organ in size, physically in contact with the organ itself

paritetal layer is portion of serous membrane that is not connected to the organ itself

^ slide across each other and limit friciton

HAS TO BE AN ENCLOSED SAC

inflammation stage (tissue repair)

occurs the second of the injury

    • injured cells

    • macrophages

    • mast cells

    • clotting proteins

    • *platelets (plug up any leaking blood) CLOTTING

1b increase capillary permeability

  • WBC know where to go becauase they follow the chemical trail of the injury

  • RBC help with pain, redness, swelling, heat

1c clot formation

  • stops bleeding

  • prevents contamination


69
New cards

organization restores blood supply (tissue repair)

Granulaiton tissue formed

  • capillaries form

  • collagen fibers bridge gap

  • macrophages phagocytize debris

  • regeneration (begins before the regeneration stage) (can’t begin until collagen has been formed) of epithelial cells


70
New cards

Regeneration and fibrosis (tissue repair)

3a regeneration

  • epithelium

  • macrophages

3b fibrosis
