properties of Connective tissues
The ability to lengthen without being damaged or injured.
What is stretch?
Two types of functional connective tissue.
What are compression and tension tissues?
connective tissue contains plasma in its extracellular matrix and is 90% water. (ex: blood, lymph, mucus)
what is liquid connective tissue?
A type of force that is a classic "propped" device.
(ex: a stool, uses its legs on both ends to come together to support your body weight)
what is compression tissues?
connective tissues are formed from which two basic ingredients?
what is cells, extracellular matrix
The gradual change in shape, occurs when tissues are subjected to a slow, continuous force.
What is creep?
like plaster, thick mud, or whipped cream, they are composed of solid particles suspended in fluid.
(allows it to be both flexible and virtually incompressable)
What is Colloidal?
a type of connective tissue with a loosely arranged network of collagen and elastin fibers embedded in a gel-like ground substance. (ex: tendons, ligaments, and fat)
What is loose connective tissues?
These are built to bear your weight during most types of activities, they will serve as your compression tissues.
What is Bones and cartilage?
a substance that is and example of colloidal properties.
What is Mud?
1. to recoil or rebound to original length or shape after being stretched.
2. the capacity to be altered and retain that new configuration.
1.what is elasticity?
2. what is plasticity?
when dense connective tissue is subjected to mechanical stress its molecules shift and an electrical charge is produced.
What is the Piezoelectric effect?
thick closely packed fibers and small amounts of ground substance. (ex: found in fasciae, tendons, ligaments, periosteum, and joint capsules.)
what is dense connective tissues?
All of your tension tissues (proper fascia, tendons, ligaments, etc) form a continuous..
What is tensional network
structurally speaking, adipose and bone are what types of connective tissue.
what is Loose and Osseous?
(Osseous = bone)
When something that responds to change in temperature (or other disturbances such as pressure) by transforming from a gel to a liquid (or sol state).
What is thixotropy?
A type of force that is a classic "propped" device.
(ex: a stool, uses its legs on both ends to come together to support your body weight).
what is compression tissues?
The three types of connective tissue in the body- (hyaline, fibro, and elastic)
what is cartilaginous connective tissues?
All of your tension tissues (proper fascia, tendons, ligaments, etc) form a continuous...
What is tensional network
Functionally speaking connective tissues can be divided into which two groups.
what is compression and tension?
the ability to be pulled in 2 different directions without damage (in other words to withstand tension) is courtesy of your collagen fibers.
What is tensile strength?
a quintessential suspended structure-
(ex: a hammocks ropes stretch apart while other compressive energy pushes together the cords fibers making them thinner)
What is tensile forces?
connective tissue found in bones (has mineral salts mixed in for stiffness)
what is Osseous connective tissue?
if we include the the bones and cartilage, which serve as fragmented spacers supporting the tension network, and fill this structure with the liquids that make up the body, we have a body wide...
what is a Connective tissue network?
what is an example of a compression based connective tissue
what is cartilage
