Tissue A
Explain ECM
ECM: Extracellular matrix
nonliving material between cells in a tissue
Functions of ECM
Helps bind tissues together structurally
Coordinates cell and tissue developement
Four main types of connective tissue
Fibrous, bone, cartilage, blood
What are the 3 types of muscle tissues?
Skeletal, smooth, cardiac
Where is the loose fibrous connective tissues located
Superficial fascia
What are the four principle types of tissues?
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue
What are the two types of epithelium?
What are the types of fibrous connective tissue
Loose (areolar), adipose, reticular, dense
What is neuron?
conducting unit of system
Where is the adipose connective tissue located
Under the skin, padding at various points
What are the primary germ layers?
Endoderm, mesoderm, ectoderm
Where are the epithelial tissues located?
Membranous covers the body, serous cavity, blood & lymphatic vessels, and respiratory
Glandular is the secretory unit of endocrine and exocrine
What are the types of bone connective tissue
compact bone, cancellous bone
cutaneous membrane (skin)
Where is the reticular connective tissue located
Inner framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow
What is histogenesis?
Process of the primary germ layers differentiating into different kinds of tissue
Functions of the epithelial tissues
Protection, sensory function, secretion, absorption, excretion
Hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic
Define mesoderm
skeletal muscle, skeleton, the dermis of skin, connective tissue, heart, kidney, spleen, blood (lymph)
Where is the irregular dense fibrous located
Deep fascia, dermis, scars, capsule of the kidney, spleen, lymph nodes etc.
Lubricant to the joint
Synovial membrane
Functions of connective tissue
connects, supports, transports and protects
What are the functions of blood?
Transportation, regulation of body temperature, regulation of body pH, white blood cells destroy bacteria
Define ectoderm
the central nervous system
Where can you find the regular dense fibrous
Tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
