Proper:
Loose, Dense (regular + irregular)

Bone:
Spongy, compact

Cartilage:
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, Elastic

Blood:
Plasma, RBC's, WBC'S, platelets

What 3 components makes up connective tissue?
Protein fibres, cells, ground substance
2 of 11
Which 2 components makes up the ECM?
Protein fibres + ground substance
3 of 11
What's special about connective tissue cells?
They create the ECM
4 of 11

Name the 3 tissue components of loose connective tissue
Adipose tissue, Retiuclar tissue, Areolar tissue
6 of 11
What are the 2 components and 2 subcomponents of Dense connective tissue
What characterises them (histologically)
Give examples of where to find each
Regular: protein fibres run in one direction
slightly yellow
Elastic = found in vocal folds,
Collagenous = tendons,ligaments

Irregular: mesh of protein fibres
Elastic = arteries
Collagenous = dermis

Categorise the 3 types of muscle cell and describe their main characteristics (histologically)
Skeletal:
Multiple nuclei
Celar striations, no junctions between cells

Cardiac:
Striations, cell branches
Shorter than skeletal cells

Smooth:
Cells tapered on each side

What 2 parts does nervous tissue consist of?
and what are they?
Neurones: nerve cells
Glia: supporting cells
9 of 11
What are the 3 types of neurone?
What functions do they have/where can they be found?
Multipolar: Multiple dendrites + 1 axon
CNS + skeletal muscle

Bipolar: 1 dendrite + 1 axon
Special somatic NS (special senses like hearing, vision)

Pseudpunipolar:
Sensory Peripheral NS (General Somatic Afferent)

Define these three types of epithelial tissue:
Endothelium
Endocardium
Mesothelium
Endothelium = the epithelial lining of the blood and lymphatic vessels.
Endocardium = the epithelial lining of ventricles and atria of the heart.
Mesothelium = the epithelium that lines the walls and covers the contents of the closed cavities of the body
