Term
what is mesenchyme
Definition
common embreyonic tissue from which all conective tissue arise, ablel to wistand alot of fource exerted in one direction
Term
what are fibroblasts
Definition
young, activly mitotic cell that forms the fibers of conective tissue
Term
what are adipocytes
Definition
fat cells
Term
what is the difference between brown and white fat
Definition
white stores nutriants and brown consumes its nutriant stores to generate heat
Term
what are chondroblasts
Definition
activly mitotic cell form of cartilage
Term
what is the function of embryonic conective tissue (mesenchyme)
Definition
gives rise to all other conective tissue types
Term
what is the function of areolar conective tissue
Definition
wraps and cushions organs, plays an important role in inflamation,holeds and conveys tissue fluid
Term
what is the function of adipose conective tissue
Definition
provides reserve food fule, insulates against heat loss, supports and protects organs
Term
what is the function of reticular conective tissue
Definition
forms a soft internal skeleton (stroma)that supports other cell types
Term
what is the function of dense regular conective tissue
Definition
ataches muscles to bones or other muscles, and bones to bones
Term
what is the function of dense irregular conective tissue
Definition
able to withstand tension exerted in many directions , provides strustural strenght
Term
what is the function of hyaline cartilage
Definition
supports and reinfources, has resiliant cussioning properties, resists compresive stress
Term
what is the function of elastic cartilage
Definition
maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexiblity
Term
what is the function of fibrocartilage
Definition
tensile strenght with the ability absorb compressive shock
Term
what is the function osseous tissue (bone)
Definition
supports and protects, provides leavers for the muscles to act on, stores calcium minerals and fat,the marrow forms blood cells
Term
what is the function of blood
Definition
transport of respitory gases, nutriants, wastes, and other substences
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is found in embryo
Definition
embryonic conective tissue (mesenchyme)
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is widely distributed under epithelia of body, surrounds capilaries, packages organs
Definition
areolar conective tissue
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is found under skin, around kidneys and eyeballs,within abdomen, in breasts
Definition
adipose conective tissue
Term

Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is found in lymphoid organs (lymph nodes bone marrow and spleen
Definition
reticular conective tissue
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is found in tendons most ligaments, and aponeuroses
Definition
dense regular conective tissue
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige is found in the dermis of the skin submucosa of digestive tract, fibrous capsules or organs and joints
Definition
dense irregular conective tissue
Term
what type on conective tissue/ cartalige forms most of the embryonic skeleton covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities, forms costal cartalage in the ribs, nose, tracea, and larynx
