BIOL 1107 Chapter Notes - Chapter 39: Solution, Flattening, Ectotherm
Document Summary
Female eats the gelatinous mass as sperm from packet enters the reproductive system. Sec 39. 2: structure correlates with function a. Packaging material, holds organs and tissues together as padding under the skin. Fibroblasts = cells that make the fibers and extracellular matrix in this tissue. Contains elastic fibers, few collagen fibers, and fibroblast cells: dense = holds tissue tightly together in a fibrous extracellular matrix. b. i. b. ii. b. iii. Found in tendons and ligaments that connect muscles, bones and organs. Collagen fibers are more tightly packed together: supporting = firm extracellular matrix c. i. c. ii. c. iii. Bone and cartilage - provide structural support for vertebres. Either bone cells and matrix or cartilage cells and matrix: fluid - cells surrounded by a liquid extracellular matrix d. i. Blood - has a special ecm called a plasma d. i. 1. Transmit signals from adjacent cells to neuronal cell body. d. i: axon - relatively longs structure projected from cell body e. i.
