Anatomy and Physiology LAB exam
connective tissues are comprised of three major features: cells, fibres and ground substance
cartilage resilient, smooth connective tissue found at the end of long bones, the tips of
nose, trachea etc.
the three principal types of cartilage fibro, elastic and hyaline
what happens while cartilage grows? chondroblasts become trapped in the marix they produce is
spaces called lacunae. once tissue is formed, the chondroblasts mature into chondrocytes and
their role switches from tissue production to maitenence
T or F: hyaline cartilage is avascular true
osteoblasts cells that form new bones and grow and heal existing bones.
areolar or loose connective tissue made me found....? beneath the skin and attaching it to
the underlying muscles
a network of collagen and elastic fibres provide? structure and flexibility
adipose tissue consists of cells well adapted for storage of lipids (fats). Is important fuel reserve
and thermal insulator. provides layer of protection for organs that may be injured from
mechanical shock
where is adipose tissue found? beneath the dermis
collagen structural protein found in the skin and connective tissue
fibroblasts In connective tissue, cells that secrete the proteins of the fibers.
muscular tissue consists of elongated cells, known as muscle fiibres
muscle fibres are both...? excitable (ability to respond to a certain stimuli by producing
electrical signals known as action potentials) and contractile (the ability to use ATP to generate
fore and shorten)
, three types of muscular tissue skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle
skeletal muscle A muscle that is attached to the bones of the skeleton and provides the
force that moves the bones.
cardiac muscleInvoluntary muscle tissue found only in the heart.
smooth muscle Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body
What characteristics/features do all epithelial tissues have? aan apical surface, a basement
membrane, lack visible intercellular substances, vascular and is capable of regeneration
epithelial tissue features protection, filtration, secretion, absorption and sensory reception
squamous cells flat cells
cuboidal cells cube shaped cells
columnar cells tall and column shaped cells
simple epithelium single layer of cells
stratified epithelium several layers of cells
Pseudostratisfied epithelium falsely stratified
the integumentrefers to the skin and all important structures associated with it
functions of the skin provides means of protection, thermoregulation, execution and sensation
what is below the dermis? a layer od adipose and connective tissue called hypodermis.
accessory structures of integument system glands, sensory, receptors and hairs
Epidermis the most superficial layer of integument and is compromised off stratified
squamous epithelium
epidermis layers? stratum corner, stratum lucidum(thick skin), stratum granulosum, stratum
spinous and stratum basale
stratum corneum consists of heavily keratinized cells called keratinocytes
stratum lucidum only thick skin
stratum basale deepest layer, compromised of cuboidal stems ells which continuously divide to
replenish more superficial layers.
