A7 - connective tissue
Cards in this deck (23)
- 1what is connective tissuetissue which provides structural and metabolic support to organs and other tissues
- 2what does lose connective tissue surroundblood vessels
- 3comment on the hydration of loose connective tissuehighly hydrated allowing metabolic exchange
- 4what is the function of dense connective tissueprovides tough physical support and protection
- 5give examples of dense connective tissueligaments, tendons, dermis of the skin
- 6what 2 fibres are found in connective tissuecollagen and elastin
- 7compare collagen and elastin-collagen is more flexible and has a higher tensile strength
- elastin allows connective tissue to stretch and recoil to original shape - 8which body part has lots of elastinthe ear
- 9what is connective tissue made from-fibroblast cells
- ground substance
- collagen and elastin fibres - 10what is ground substancehighly hydrated substance found in space between fibres and cells
- 11how many fibres are found in loose vs connective tissueloose has much less fibres than dense but more hydrated ground substance
- 12why are there lots of macrophages in the lose connective tissueprovides good environment for microorganism growth which isn't wanted
- 13what is the main composition of dense connective tissuelots of fibres and less ground substance and fibroblasts
- 14what are the 2 subsections of the dense connective tissueDense Irregular
Dense Regular - 15explain the 2 subsectionsdense regular has regular fibre patterns
dense irregular doesn't - 16is there any difference in density of the 2 dense tissuesno
- 17what is the most abundant fibres in connective tisseucollagen
- 18what is the 3rd fibrethe reticular fibre
- 19which fibres are branchedelastin fibres
- 20what is found in "connective tissue proper"loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue
- 21what is found in specialised connective tissue-adipose tissue
-blood
-bones - 22what is the purpose of adipose tissuestores fat
- 23what gives brown adipose tissue its colourthe mitochondria and cappileries contained within it
