3 methods of glandular secretions
- Merocrine
- Apocrine
- Holocrine
-
Merocrine secretions
cell remains intact, protein leaves
-
Apocrine secretion
part of the cell breaks off
-
-
3 distinct components of connective tissue
- Ground Substance/matrix
- Extracellular fibers
- Cells
-
Ground substance
- amorphous, homogeneous material ranges from liquid to gel to solid
- found in blood and bones
- exchange of nutrients and waste, cushions and protects cells
- Barrier to invading microorganisms
-
3 types of extracellular fibers
- Collagenous
- Reticular
- Elastic
-
Collagenous fibers
- structural protein collagen
- thick parallel bundles
- tremendous strength
- found in tendons and ligaments
-
Reticular
- composed of collagen
- thin, delicate, branched
- form a complete network
- found in lymph nodes, spleen, liver
-
Elastic
- composed of elastin
- complex network
- coiled - spring like
- Found in lungs, skin, vocal cords, and the walls of the blood vessles
-
2 Cell types for connective tissue
-
Fixed connective tissues
- Fibroblast
- Adipocytes
- Reticular
-
Fibroblast
general name, varies by type of tissue produced
-
Adipocytes
lipids, cushions, fat
-
Reticular
makes reticular fibers
-
Wandering connective tissues
- Mast
- Leukocytes
- Macrophages
-
Mast cells
secrete, responsible for allergic reactions
-
Leukocytes
white blood cells
-
Macrophages
- "garbage men"
- clear damage debris
-
Classifications of connective tissue
- Areolar
- Adipose
- Reticular
- Dense Fibrous
- Dense regular
- Dense irregular
- Elastic
-
Classifications of specialized connecting tissue
-
3 types of cartilage
- Hyaline
- Elastic
- Fibrocartilage
-
Chondro
refers to cartilage
-
Hyaline cartilage
- most common type of cartilage
- closely packed collagen fibers
- most rigid type of cartilage
- articular cartilage (type of cartilage at the end of joints)
- rings of cartilage
- growth plates
-
Elastic cartilage
- numerous branching bundles of elastic fibers
- very flexable
- epiglottis
- larynx
- pinna (ears)
- covered by a perichondrium
-
Fibrocartilage
- thick bundles of collagen fibers
- fewer chondrocytes
- lacks a perichondrium
- capable of withstanding compression
- found merged with connective tissue
-
Matrix
- gelatin like substance
- composed of proteins and polysaccharides
- collagen fibers
- infiltrated with calcium and phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals
-
Cartilage is made up of
- Chondrocytes
- Lacunae
- Chondroitin sulfate
- Perichondrium (not all types)
-
Bone
- is a connective tissue
- Makes up the structure
-

-
-
Bone cells
- Osteoblasts
- Osteocytes
- Osteoclasts
-
-
Osteocytes
surrounded by matrix
-
Osteoclasts
capable of destroying and breaking down bone
-
Haversian system
light compact system of cylindrical bone
-
Haversian canals
composed of blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves
-
Volkmanns canals
- channels in bone that run through the matrix
- Blood vessels pass through
- nutrient foramen is the opening
-
Canaliculi
channels through bone connecting lacunae
-
Lacuna
Spaces in the bone
-
Periosteum
connective tissue that surrounds bones
-
Epiphysis
ends of a long bone
-
Epiphyseal plate
- still composed of hyaline cartilage
- the growth plate
-
Articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage
-
Diaphysis
the region between epiphysis
-
Yellow marrow
- composed of fat/adapose
- found in newborns
-
Red marrow
tissue that makes cells that leave the marrow
-
5 functions of bone
- support
- protection
- leverage
- storage
- blood cell formation
-
Hematopoiesis
blood cell formation
-
Ossification
mineralization of the matrix
-
Endochondrial ossification
- when long bones start as hyaline cartilage
- Cartilage model > long bones > Diaphysis (primary growth center) > Epiphyses (secondary)
- Ex. during fetal development
-
Intramembranous ossification
- flat bones of the cranium
- fibrous tissue membrane covering fetal brain
- bone formation occurs directly in the membrane
- no cartilage model
-
Os & osteo
refers to bones
-
Bone
- second hardest substance in the body
- living tissue with the ability to repair itself
- specialized connective tissue composed of matrix, cells, fibers
-
4 bone shapes
- long bones
- short bones
- flat bones
- irregular
-

- longer then it is wide
- tibia
- femur
- humerus
-
short bones
