Anatomical Position
Towards the front.
The change/effector has the opposite effect of what is causing it (AKA the stimulus)
What is a negative feedback loop?
Supports and connects, and also has immune cells for protection (inflammation and phagocytosis)
What is areolar? (Loose connective tissue proper)
Skin, hair, and nails system
What is the integumentary system?
A type of dense connective tissue that supports and provides strength while being able to go in multiple directions. (i.e. provides support with a wide range of movement).
What is Dense Irregular Connective Tissue?
Towards the back
What is posterior/dorsal?
What cavity contains the nervous system? (Brain & spinal cord)
What is the dorsal cavity?
This type of tissue has the following 4 subtypes:
_____ _______ Proper (loose and dense)
Cartilage
Bone
Blood
Connective Tissue
Regulates heat and movement.
What is the muscular system?
type of connective tissue that helps with recoil.
Found in large arteries, in the vertebral column, bronchial tubes in lung.
What is Elastic Dense Connective Tissue?
Between medial and lateral structures.
What is intermediate?
What is the more superior subcategory cavity in the ventral cavity?
What is the thoracic cavity?
Provides energy reserve, insulation, as well as cushioning and support
Mostly made of adipocytes (cells containing large amounts of triglycerides)
Sends chemical messengers through the blood.
What is the endocrine system?
Supports lymph organs (spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow)
Made of mostly reticular fibers in a gel-like substance
Has reticular cells (fibroblasts that produce/maintain reticular fibers)
What is Reticular Loose Connective Tissue?
If proximal is closer to where a limb attaches to the body, what is the term for farther from where a limb attaches to the body.
What is distal?
What are the two subsections of the dorsal cavity?
What is cranial (contains nerves) and vertebral (contains spinal cord)?
The type of tissue found in your nose tip! Also in between joints, ribs, trachea, etc...)
- Provides support and flexibility.
- Chondrocytes lie in lacunae.
What Is Hyaline Cartilage?
Transports blood, involved in oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) transport throughout the body.
What is the cardiovascular system?
Helps attach bones to muscles or bones and assist with movement
Closely packed collagen fiber bundles are parallel together, lots of fibroblasts
Tendons, ligaments
What is Dense Regular Connective Tissue?
vertical cut, separating left and right
What is a sagittal cut?
What are the two parts of the serosa double membrane?
What is the parietal (part next to wall) and visceral (next to organ)?
Collagen=thick, tough and provide support
Elastic=have some stretch ability
Reticular= branch, supportive nets
What are the three different types of fibers?
What two systems are involved in removing liquid and solid wastes?
What is the Urinary & Digestive systems?
What are the three types/shapes of epithelial cells?
What is squamous (flat), cuboidal (cube), columnar (column)?
