appearance of simple squamous
Definition
single layer of flat
Term
function of simple squamous
Definition
diffusion, secretion

appearance of simple cuboidal
Definition
cupe-shaped with round nuclei
Term
appearance of simple columnar
Definition
elongated, ciliated or not, nuclei at same level, goblet cells secrete mucus

Term
4 classes of connective tissue

CT proper, cartilage, bone, blood
Term
functions of connective tissue
Definition
bind/support, protect, insulate, transport
Term
connective tissue all come from...
Definition
embryonic tissue "messenchyne"
Term
structural parts of connective tissue
Definition
matrix (ground substance & fibers), cells
Term
tissue
Definition
group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common function
Term
histology
Definition
study of tissues
Term
ground substance
Definition
supports cells, binds them together, and provides a medium through which substance are exchanged between blood and cells/ gel-like/ fibers embedded
Term
collagenous fibers
Definition
extremely strong fibers that make up tendons and ligaments
Term
elastic fibers
Definition
fibers that stretch and snap back easily/ vocal cords, skin
Term
reticular fibers
Definition
extra fine fibers around capillaries and soft organ tissue
Term
fibroblasts
Definition
cells that secrete matrix
Term
macrophages
Definition
cells that perform phagocytosis (eat bad stuff)
Term
plasma cells
Definition
cells that secrete antibodies
Term
mast cells
Definition
cells that produce histamine in reaction to foreign invaders
Term
adipocytes
Definition
cells that store fat
Term
white blood cells
Definition
cells that migrate blood in response to infection
Term
two categories of connective tissue proper
Definition
loose CT and dense CT
Term
3 types of loose CT
Definition
areolar, adipose, reticular
Term
3 types of dense CT
Definition
regular, irregular, elastic
Term
areolar
Definition
gel like matrix, cell= fibroblasts, all fiber types, wraps and cushions organs
Term
adipose
Definition
nucleus pushed side by side by large fat droplets, source of fuel for body, insulate, support organs
Term
reticular CT
Definition
only has reticular fibers/ found in lymph nodes, bone marrow, and spleen
Term
dense regular CT
Definition
found in tendons and ligaments/ collogen fibers and fibroblasts
Term
dense irregular CT
Definition
collogen fibers in irregular arrangement to with hold tension in many directions/ dermis, fibrous capsule of joints, and organs
Term
elastic
Definition
found where recoil of tissue is critical, walls of aorta
