RATED REVIEW
Reticular fiber
Type of fiber secreted by fibroblasts, most abundant in the
reticular tissue of soft organs
Supportive connective tissue
Provide structure and strength to the body and protect
soft tissues (bones and cartilages)
Hyaline cartilage
Most common type of cartilage, consists of short and
dispersed collagen fibers
Fibrocartilage
Tough cartilage with thick bundles of collagen fibers
dispersed through its matrix
P a g e 1 | 37
,Elastic cartilage
Contains elastic fibers as well as collagen and
proteoglycans
Fluid connective tissue
Specialized cells circulating as a watery fluid (blood and
lymph)
Fluid connective tissue: blood
Erythrocytes, red blood cells, transport oxygen, and some
carbon dioxide.
Leukocytes, white blood cells, are responsible for
defending against potentially harmful microorganisms or
molecules.
Platelets are cell fragments involved in blood clotting.
Fluid connective tissue: lymph
Lymph contains a liquid matrix and white blood cells.
Lymphatic capillaries are extremely permeable, allowing
larger molecules and excess fluid from interstitial spaces
P a g e 2 | 37
,to enter the lymphatic vessels. Lymph drains into blood
vessels.
Muscle tissue
Characterized by properties that allow movement
Skeletal muscle
Voluntary muscle that is attached to the bones and is
responsible for the voluntary movements of the body
Neuron
A type of nerve cell that conveys messages or signals
between the different areas of the brain and between
the brain and the other parts of the nervous system
Neuroglia
A type of cell of nervous tissue, and modulating
supporting neurons in their information propagation
P a g e 3 | 37
, Cell body
Part of a neuron that includes most of the cytoplasm, the
organelles, and the nucleus
Dendrites
Part of neurons that branch off the cell body and appear
as thin extensions
Axon
Tail-like structure that extends from the neuron body
Myelin
Insulating layer or neurons formed by accessory cells
Action potential
Stimuli that propagate from the neuron down the axon
