| What are the functions of connective tissue? | Binds and supports tissues. Insulates and protects organs. Major transport system in the body - blood. Energy store - fat (adipose tissue). Immune function. |
| The two elements of connective tissue are: | Connective tissue cells Extra cellular matrix (material between the cells). |
| Cartilage is | firm but pliable |
| Two different types of connective tissue? | Cartilage and bone |
| Bone is | hard and not pliable |
| Is connective tissue highly vascular? | Yes |
| Connective tissue cells? | Fibroblasts Macrophages Plasma cells Mast cells Adipocytes |
| Fibroblasts | Synthesise fibres |
| Macrophages | defence function. Engulf bacteria and debris. |
| Plasma cells | defence/immune function. Secrete antibodies. |
| Mast cells | Produce histamine. Dilate blood vessels. |
| Adipocytes | Fat cells. Energy storage. |
| Collagen fibres are found in ? | Bone, tendons, cartilage, ligaments. |
| Elastic fibres are found in? | The skin, blood vessel walls, lung tissue. |
| Collagen contains the protein? Elastic fibres contain the proteins? Reticular fibres contain the protein? | Collagen. Elastin and Fibrillin. Collagen. |
| Reticular fibres are found | In the walls of blood vessels, around fat cells, nerve fibres and muscle tissue. |
| Areolar connective tissue is found in | the subcutaneous layer of the skin. |
| Cartilage is made up of | collagen and elastic fibres. |
| Cartilage cells are called? | Chondrocytes |
| Cartilage has a blood supply? | No |
| 3 types of cartilage. | Hyaline Fibro Elastic |
| Chondrocytes sit in small spaces called? | Lacunae. |
| Where is fibrocartilage found? | Intervertebral discs |
| Hyaline cartilage is found in? | Ends of long bones, ribs, nose |
| Elastic cartilage is found in | larynx (Epiglottis), ear and auditory tubes. |
| Types of cells in bone? | Osteogenic cell (develops into an osteoblast) Osteoblast (forms bone extracellular matrix) Osteocyte (maintains bone tissue) Osteoclast (functions in reabsorption, the breakdown of bone matrix) |
