fibrous
adipose
cartilage
elastic
Term
Adipose tissue
Definition
stores fat btwn skin and muscle, regs insulin/glucose
ADIPOCYTE
Term
Areolar tissue
Definition
produces protein fibres for matrix, collagen/elastin, mast cells
FIBROBLAST
Term
Fibrous tissue
Definition
tendons, ligaments, outer walls of arteries. Poor blood supply.
Term
elastic connective tissue
Definition
Elastic – arteries, alveoli
Term
cartilage connective tissue
Definition
Cartilage – poor blood supply, no salts, flexible, absorbs shock
CHONDROCYTE
Term
Bone connective tissue
Definition
Bone – good blood supply, non flexible, calcium salts
OSTEOCYTE
Term
Blood connective tissue
Definition
plasma is 52 – 62% of blood vol,
fx transport
Term

skeletal muscle
Definition
Skeletal – striated, voluntary movement, prod heat.
Term
smooth muscle
Definition
Smooth – not voluntary, intestines, arteries.
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
Cardiac – myocardium, chambers of heart, fx pump blood, electrical impulses
Term
nervous tissue
Definition
brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves
Fx feeling, interpret sensation, initiate movement, reg body func, organize info
Term
neuron
