ANA300Y1 Study Guide - Final Guide: Type I Collagen, Hyaline Cartilage, Ultimate Tensile Strength
Document Summary
Function areolar ct least specialized, provide support but allows independent mvt. , defence against pathogens. Loose ct reticular ct forms stroma (scaffolding) of these highly cellular organs. Proper adipose tissue packing for important things dense regular largely collane type i. Allows for stretch, arranged in parallel rays (tensile strength 1 direction) Dense ct dense irregular largely collagen type i (tensile strength > 1 direction) elastic tissue high [elastic fibres] -> inc. resiliency. Location vascular tissue, adipose tissue superficial fascia, b/w muscles, bvs, Ns, around joints liver, kidneys, spleen, lymph nodes, smooth muscle, bone marrow found with areolar. Ct, abundant deep to skin, behind eyes, around kidneys tendons (m-b), aponeuroses (fm - B) reticular layer of dermis, periosteum, perichondrium, organ & joint capsules, submucosa of gi tract ligamentum flavum, supporting transitional epithelium, bvs. Gs > fibres mostly gs, all cell & fibre types mostly reticular fibres mostly adipocytes. Nuclei in gs have no lacunae. tendons & ligaments.
