- 1What is this? What is it's functionLoose connective tissue
-Primarily made up of ground substance
-Houses blood vessels supplying epithelium
-Support
-Protection - 2Where is this tissue found? *3 places-Deep to the epidermis
-Walls of hollow organs
-Membranes lining body cavities
- 3Name each structureA: Fibroblast
B: Ground substance
C: Elastic fiber
D: Collagen fiber
- 4What is this and what does it do?Irregular dense connective tissue
-It is strong in all three planes
-Structure of clusters of collagen arranged haphazardly
-made to undergo stress
- 5Where is this tissue found?In places subject to a lot of tension,
-dermis (Deep layer of skin)
-around joints and organs - 6Name each structureA: irregular collagen fibers
B: Ground substance
C: fibroblasts
- 7What is this? What does it do?Dense regular collagenous connective tissue
-Gives strength
-Made to undergo stress in only one plane
- 8Where is this tissue found?In tendons and ligaments
- 9—A: Parallel Collagen bundles
B: Fibroblasts
C: Ground substance
- 10What is this? What does it do?Elastic tissue
-Allows certain organs to stretch
- 11Where is this tissue found?The lining of large blood vessels, certain ligaments like those of the spine
- 12—A: Parallel elastic fibers
B: Ground substance - 13What is this? What is it's function?Reticular tissue
-Forms internal structure of many organs
-Supports smaller vessels and nerves
- 14Where is this Reticular tissue found?Lymph nodes, spleen, liver and bone marrow
-Around vessels and nerves
-Basement membrane - 15—A: Leukocytes
B: Reticular fibers
C: Fibroblasts - 16What is this? What does it doFat tissue,
-functions as insulation,major energy reserve in the body, warmth, protection, shock absorption
- 17Where else can you find fat tissue besides butt, hips, abdomen, breasts, and thighs?You can find it surrounding organs like the heart, and abdominal organs
- 18—A: Nuclei
B: Adipocytes with lipid inclusions
C: Collagen fibers - 19What kind of cartilage is this? What is it's function?Hyaline cartilage,
-Functions: support, protection, resists compression
- 20Where can you find this cartilageBetween bones in joints,
-between sternum and ribs
-Nose and respiratory tract - 21—A: chondrocytes in lacunae
B: ECM - 22What is this cartilage? Function?Fibrocartilage,
support, protection, resists compression
- 23Where can you find fibrocartilage?ONLY in intervertebral disks
- 24—A: Chondrocytes in lacunae
B: Collagen bundles - 25What is this cartilage? What is it for?Elastic cartilage, tissues vibrate and assist in detection of sound and production of sound
- 26Where is elastic cartilage found?External ear and epiglottis of larynx
- 27—A: Chondrocytes in lacunae
B: Elastic fibers - 28What is this? What is it's function?Bone,
-support, protection, calcium storage, provides leverage for movement
- 29—A: Osteocyte in lacunae
B: Calcified ECM
