Anatomy & Physiology I
Practical II: Connective Tissue & Skeletal System
Connective Tissue
I). Know the types of connective tissue o Connective Tissue Proper o Cartilage o Bone o Blood
II). Know the elements and of connective tissue and the function of the elements o cells:
 blasts cells
 fibroblast
 mast cells
 macrophage o ground substances (matrix) o fibers
 collagenous
 elastic
 reticular
III). Know all 3 types of cartilage o Hyaline Cartilage o Elastic Cartilage o Fibrocartilage
IV). Know all 3 types of fibers o collagenous o elastic o reticular
V). Be able to identify on a slide the following connective tissues o Connective Tissue Proper o Loose Connective Tissue

Areolar Connective tissue

Adipose



Dense Connective Tissue

Elastic Connective Tissue o Cartilage

Hyaline Cartilage

Elastic Cartilage


o Blood
If the bone was identified in class it is fair game for the practical. I have limited the structures that you need, Take your time with the test and learn how to eliminate impossible answers and arrive at the right answer. o Know the anatomical terms. (i.e. distal, proximal, anterior, etc) o Know what articulates means. o Know what and where the following bones and structures articulate . o Know how to determine an appendicular bone belongs on the right or the left. o Know the osteon histology . There will be a slide. Be abler to identify: o Haversian’s canal o lamella o lacunae o Know the structure of long bones : (There will be cow bones) o compact bone o spongy bone o yellow bone marrow o red bone marrow o periosteum o Be able to identify all of the following bones and structures:
