Connective Tissue - Types 1
Flashcards do conjunto (22)
- 1How is connective tissue classified?According to the components of the ground substance and types of fibres found within the matrix
- 2What are the three main groups of CT ?1. Connective Tissue Proper
2. Supportive Connective Tissue
3. Fluid Connective Tissue - 3What types of CT fall under the Connective tissue proper group?1. Dense connective tissue
2. Loose connective tissue - 4What types of CT fall under the Supportive Connective tissue group?1. Cartilage
2. Bone - 5What types of CT fall under the Fluid Connective tissue group?1. Blood
2. Lymph - 6What is the most common type of CT?Loose Connective Tissue
- 7What protein fibres make up loose CT?Large numbers of Collagen, Elastic or Reticular Fibres
- 8What is the main cell type of Loose CT?Fibroblasts
- 9What is the importance of Loose CT?Anchors the organ in place and attaches epithelial tissue to underlying tissue.
- 10What does Loose CT structure allow to occur?It's structure is such that it allows water, salts, and nutrients to pass through to adjacent cells and tissues
- 11Name a specialised form of Loose CTAdipose Tissue
- 12What cells compose adipose tissue?Cells called adipocytes
- 13What is the function of adipose tissue?It stores fat
- 14what are the two types of adipose tissues1. Those which store 'white fat' which is a single large droplet of fat (takes up most space in cell)
2. Those which store 'brown fat' which is many drops of fat in cell - 15What is the most common form of adipose tissue?'White fat' adipose tissue
- 16Where is 'Brown fat' adipose tissue found and why is it importantIt's absent in adults but very important in infants as it regulates temperature
- 17What does Dense CT have more of than Loose CT and why is this beneficial to Dense CTDense CT has more collagen fibres than loose CT and this gives the tissue greater strength and flexibility - greater resistance to stretching
- 18What is Dense CT also referred to as and give some example?Fibrous Connective Tissue
e.g. Tendons, Ligaments, Sheaths of muscle/nerves - 19What main cell type is found in Dense CT?Fibroblasts?
- 20What are the two types of Dense CT?1. Dense Regular Tissue
2. Dense irregular Tissue - 21Describe the structure of Dense Regular Tissue and give examples of body parts it's found inThe fibres are parallel to one another giving it great strength in the direction of the fibres
e.g. Tendons and Ligaments - 22Describe the structure of Dense Irregular Tissue and give examples of body parts it's found inThe direction of the fibres are mostly random. This gives the tissue good strength in many directions
e.g. The dermis of skin
