Adipocytes - correct answer-fat cells that make up most of the subcutaneous layer
Macrophages - correct answer-Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that
destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
Fibroblasts - correct answer-produce fibers and ground substance
mast cells - correct answer-Cells that release chemicals (such as histamine) that
promote inflammation.
dense regular connective tissue - correct answer-Function: attaches muscles to bones
or to muscles; attaches bones to bones; withstands great tensile stress when pulling
force is applied in one direction
Location: tendons, most ligaments, aponeuroses
dense irregular connective tissue - correct answer-Function: able to withstand tension
exerted in many directions; provides structural strength
Location: fibrous capsules of organs and joints; dermis of the skin; submucosa of
digestive tract
elastic connective tissue - correct answer-Function: allows recoil of tissue following
stretching; maintains pulsatile flow of blood through arteries; aids passive recoil of lungs
following inspiration
Location: walls of large arteries; within certain ligaments associated with vertebral
column, within the walls of the bronchial tubes
integument - correct answer-covering of the body
,dermatology - correct answer-study of the skin
Melanocytes - correct answer-a mature melanin-forming cell, typically in the skin.
Melanin - correct answer-A pigment that gives the skin its color
Carotene - correct answer-yellow-orange pigment
arrector pili - correct answer-a smooth muscle attached to hair follicles that causes
"goose bumps" to appear on the skin when contracted
sebaceous glands - correct answer-secrete sebum (oil) into the hair follicles where the
hair shafts pass through the dermis
layers of integument - correct answer-epidermis, dermis, hypodermis
layers of epidermis - correct answer-stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum
granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum
thick skin vs thin skin - correct answer-Thick skin- covers palms, soles fingers and toes
thickness is due to the dead cells (stratum corneum). has seat glands but no hair
follicles or sebaceous (oil) glands)
Thin skin- all over body, thin stratum corneum, has hair follicles, sebaceous glands and
sweat glands.
major regions of the dermis - correct answer-papillary region and reticular region
function of subcutaneous layer - correct answer-protects and insulates
compact bone - correct answer-Hard, dense bone tissue that is beneath the outer
membrane of a bone
, spongy bone - correct answer-Layer of bone tissue that has many small spaces and is
found just inside the layer of compact bone.
Cartilage - correct answer-A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and that
protects the ends of bones and keeps them from rubbing together.
Ligament - correct answer-Connects bone to bone
Chondrocytes - correct answer-Cells that secrete cartilage.
Diaphysis - correct answer-shaft of a long bone
medullary cavity - correct answer-cavity within the shaft of the long bones filled with
bone marrow
Epiphysis - correct answer-End of a long bone
Metaphysis (long bone) - correct answer-where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
Osteoblasts - correct answer-bone forming cells
Osteocytes - correct answer-a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes
embedded in the matrix it has secreted.
Osteoclasts are - correct answer-cells that break down bone matrix
components of bone matrix - correct answer-organic and inorganic
organic compounds in bone matrix - correct answer-Osteoid produced by osteoblasts,
contains
-Collagen
-Ground substance of proteoglycans and glycoproteins
