Front

The four main classes of connective tissue are

Back

connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, blood

Front

Connective tissue tissue proper consists of all connective tissues except

Back

bone, cartilage, and blood

Front

The two subclasses of connect tissue proper are

Back

loose connective tissues, and dense connective tissue

Front

CT proper: loose connective tissue has

Back

Areolar, Adipose, Reticular

Front

CT proper: dense connective tissues has

Back

dense regular, dense irregular, elastic

Front

Loose areolar connective tissue is

what does Loose areolar connective tissue supports

Back

most widely distributed CT

supports and binds other tissue

Universal packing material between other tissues

Front

Loose Areolar connective tissue contains

What does loose fibers allow

What are contained in spaces

Back

Contains fibroblasts that secrete loose arrangement of mostly collagen fibers

Loose fibers allow for increased ground substance, which can act as water reservoir by holding more interstitial fluid

Macrophages and fat cells are contained in spaces

Front

What is loose adipose tissue

Back

white fat and brown fat

Front

What is white fat

What are the cells called

What does white fat function in

Back

-like areolar tissue but with greater nutrient storage

-adipocytes

-scanty matrix

-richly vascularized

Functions in shock absorption, insulation, and energy storage

Front

What is brown fat

Back

Use lipid fuels to heat bloodstream rather than to produce ATP, as does white fat
