Term
| 3 catagories of connective tissue |
|
Definition
| connective tissue proper( loose [areolar] dense [regular, irregular]); CT with special properties (adipose, elastic tissue, hematopoeitic tissue, muccous tissue) ; supportive connective tissues (bone, cartilege) |
|
|
Term
| Features to consider when classifying connective tissues |
|
Definition
| #'s and types of cells present, # and type of fibers and/ or ground substance present, arrangement of fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Loose (areolar) and dense regular/irregular CT: includes what one gerneally thinks of connective tissue, holding organs together and providing passage through which nerve and blood vessels can travel |
|
|
Term
| Loose or areaolar fibroelastic CT (FECT) |
|
Definition
| large number of cells, large variety if types: fibroblast, macrophages neutrophils m lymphocytes, plamsa cells, eosinophills, mast cells adipocytes. Mainly collagen, lesser extent elastic and reticular fibers. Ground substances is gelatinous, distribution surrounds muscles supports the epithelial tissue |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| term given to loose CT that supports an epithelium |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| composed primarily if bundles of collagen, randomly arranged , some elestic very few reticular fibers, fewer variety of cells, and is distributed at the dermis, |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| composed of collagen bundles all arrange in parallel orientation few elastic and fewer reticular fibers, ground substance is short supply and is not very vascular, distributed at tendons |
|
|
Term
| CT with special properties: 5 broad catagories |
|
Definition
| Elastic, Reticular, adipose, Muccous, hematopoeitic |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CT w/ spl prprties: primary fiber is elastic arranged in sheets, have holes or fenestrations and sheets are held together loosely by collagen, fibroblasts and smooth muscles cells are able to produce elastic fibers and sheets, form walls of large arteries |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CT w/ spl prprties: composed primarily of collage type 3 collectly form a mesh or scafolding, special type of fibroblast a reticular cell, wrap cytoplasmic processes around the reticular fibers, distribution: framwork of hematopoeitic areas spleen bone marrow lymppoids organs |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CT w/ spl prprties: predominate cell is the white adipocyte stores fats and triglycerides, collagenous fribrillar septa divid the tissue into lobes, reticular fibers form supporting framework. Distribution through out the body with a few exceptions, amount varies by age sex and caloric intake |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CT w/ spl prprties: primitive fibroblast, amorphous ground sibstance composed of hyaluronic acid, contains some collegen and a few elastic and reticular fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| CT w/ spl prprties: this tissue contains all the components of the CT. fiber (are potential and form clots if need be) |
