UCONN PNB 2264 Exam Questions with Actual Answers
Adipose (Fat) Tissue (Loose Connective Tissue)
Reticular Connective Tissue (Loose Connective Tissue)
Dense Regular Connective Tissue (Dense) Makes up ligaments and tendons
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue (Dense) Makes up dermis of skin
Cartilage (Supportive Connective Tissue) (Semi-solid matrix)
Chondroblasts Produce matrix
Chondrocytes Mature cartilage cells, located in lacunae
Hyaline Cartilage Lots of dense, fine collagen. Strong, flexible, and smooth and reduces
friction in joints
Fibrocartilage Collagen, some elastic fibers. EX. Intervertebral disks, resists compression
, Two components of Bone - Organic (protein) = Osteoid 1/3 bone mass, collagen, property:
resists stretch, tensile strength
- Inorganic (mineral) calcium phosphate reacts with calcium hydroxide to form hydroxyapatite,
property: Resists compression
Osteoblasts builds bone
Osteocytes Mature bone cells
Osteoclasts break down bone
Functions of Bone Support, Protection, Allows for Movement, Storage depot for Ca and
Phosphorus salts, Hemopoiesis (blood forming)
Classes of Bones - Long Bones
- Short Bones
- Flat Bones
- Irregular Bones
- Sesamoid Bones
Diaphysis SHAFT of long bone (hehehehe)
