(a)  

Fat molecules in adipose cells

(a)  

Located in the subcutaneous layer of skin, around heart and kidneys, yellow bone marrow of long bones, and padding around joints.

(a)  

Protein fibers form a dense matting

(a)  

Located in the dermis, cartilage, and covers bones

(a)  

Protein fibers are in a parallel arrangement, very resistant to physical stress

(a)  

Located in tendons and ligaments

(a)  

Connects muscle to bone

(a)  

Connects bone to bone

(a)  

Harder and more solid than connective tissue proper but takes a long time to repair because it's avascular, matrix is a gel and contains many protein fibers.

(a)  

Cells of cartilage that are contained in chambers

(a)  

Chambers that contain chondrocytes

(a)  

Covering of the cartilage

(a)  

Most abundant type of cartilage, blue-white in color, and contains many collagen fibers

(a)  

Located in the trachea bronchi, bone ends in moveable joints, and ends of ribs.

(a)  

Yellow in color and contain elastic fibers

(a)  

Found in the ear flap, end of nose, and epiglottis

(a)  

Contains collagen fibers and is found in the knee (menisci) and intervertebral discs

(a)  

2 components of bone matrix. Makes the matrix of bone hard and durable

(a)  

Mineral salts in bone

(a)  

Bone cells

(a)  

Chambers that contain osteocytes

(a)  

Membrane that covers the bone

(a)  

The concentric circles that make up the matrix of compact bone

(a)  

Found in the center of the lamellae that contains blood vessel and have channels called canaliculi running to the lacunae containing the osteocyte.

(a)  

Densely pack cylindrical units

(a)  

Plates that are made of loosely packed haversian systems that have red bone marrow in between them

(a)  

Softest type of connective tissue that has no collagen nor mineral salts and has a liquid matrix called plasma. Suspended in the plasma are cells and cell fragments

(a)  

Makes red and white blood cells and platelets

(a)  

Found in lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, and thymus of children, matures white blood cells called lymphocytes and monocytes

(a)  

Proteins in muscle tissue. Protein filaments arranged in parallel bundles

(a)  

Long, cylindrical, striated fibers with many peripherally located nuclei and are considered voluntary because it can be made to contract or relax by conscious control

(a)  

Usually attached to bones by tendons and are in charge of motion, posture, and heat production

(a)  

Considered involuntary and are spindle-shaped, non striated fibers with one centrally located nucleus

(a)  

Located in the walls of hollow internal structures such as blood vessels, bronchi, stomach, intestines, gallbladder, urinary bladder and uterus. Function is motion. Constricting blood vessels and airways, propulsion of foods through gastrointestinal tract.

(a)  

Branched striated fibers with one or two centrally located nuclei and is controlled involuntary control

(a)  

Found in the wall of the heart, is also called myocardium and pumps blood to all parts of the body

(a)  

Specialized cells that conduct electrochemical signals

(a)  

Maintain and support the neurons and are numerous in the brain and spinal cord

(a)  

Exhibits sensitivity to various types of stimuli, converts stimuli into nerve impulses, and conducts nerve impulses to other neurons, muscle fibers, or glands. Found in the nervous system

(a)  

Simplest combination of tissues in the body and is made of an epithelial layer and an underlying connective tissue layer

(a)  

Divides areas of the body or organs, lines the inside of hollow organs and body cavities, and anchors organs to other structures. Consists of cutaneous, serous, and mucous membranes

(a)  

Skin membrane, primary organ of the integumentary system

(a)  

Lines the inside of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities, covers the organs in these cavities and bind the organs to each other and the body walls.

(a)  

Epithelium of the outer surface of these membranes produces mucus that traps foreign particles, protects cells and keeps them moist, and line the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive tracts

(a)  

Contains only loose connective tissue, no epithelium and little fat. Lines the inside walls of joint cavities such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder. Secretes fluid that lubricates the joint and nourishes the hyaline cartilage at bone ends.
