#11 What are the three general characteristics of Connective Tissue Connective tissues have:
#1 Mesenchyme as their common tissue of origin
#2 Varying degrees of vascularity
#3 Nonliving extracellular matrix, consisting of ground substance and fibers
Must Do – Answer the following question using an electronic device.
#12 What Functions are performed by Connective Tissue?
• A. Binding and support• B. Protection• C. Insulation• D. Transportation
#13 Structural Elements of Connective How are the functions of connective tissue reflected in its
structure?
Living cells are soft and fragile. The large amount of non-living matrix provides the strength needed for the normal function of connective tissues.
#14 Connective Tissue Proper: Loose, Adipose

2. Acts as a storage depot for fat
11. Insulates against heat loss
#14 Connective Tissue Proper: Areolar

3; The dermis of the skin
#14 Connective Tissue: Elastic Cartilage

8, Provides a flexible framework for the external ear
Connective Tissue: Fibrocartilage Cartilage

4, Makes up intervertebral discs
Connective Tissue: Bone (Osseous Tissue)
Figure 4.9i
5. Forms your hip bone 10. Provides levers for muscles to act on
Connective Tissue: Hyaline Cartilage

7. Forms the larynx, the cover of the ribs, & the embryonic skeleton
9. Firm amorphous matrix invaded with fibers, glassy and smooth
#15 Why do adipose cells remind people of a ring with a single jewel?
Figure 4.9b
They contain a large fat-filled vacuole occupying most of the cell. The nucleus is pushed to the periphery giving a ‘signet ring’ appearance
Connective Tissue: Blood

Connective Tissue Proper: Dense Irregular

Connective Tissue Proper: Loose

Connective Tissue Proper: Loose
• Areolar connective tissue– Gel-like matrix with all three connective tissue
fibers– Fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and some
white blood cells– Wraps and cushions organs– Widely distributed throughout the body
Connective Tissue: Embryonic
• Mesenchyme – embryonic connective tissue– Gel-like ground substance with fibers and star-
shaped mesenchymal cells– Gives rise to all other connective tissues– Found in the embryo
#16 Nervous Tissue, What two physiological characteristics are highly developed in neurons?

Irritability and conductivityIrritability and conductivity#17 In what way are neurons similar to other cells?
They contain a nucleus and the usual organelles
#17 In what way are neurons similar to other cells?

How are they different?
They are different as their cytoplasm is drawn out into long processes

#18
Describe how the unique structure of a neuron relates to its function in the body
Neurons conduct impulses over relatively long distances in the body. This is facilitated by the long cytoplasmic extensions

InterActive Physiology ®: Nervous System I: Anatomy Review
Nervous Tissue
• Branched neurons with long cellular processes and support cells
• Transmits electrical signals from sensory receptors to effectors
• Found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves
