Tissue Type

genetic lack of melanin

consists of collagen & elastin fibers; connect adjacent structures, underlines epithelia, surrounds blood vessels, nerves trachea

breakdown of clotted blood under the skin

lacks striation, involuntary, vessels to maintain BP, lines organs

dominated by fat cells; form protective padding, store excess calories, insulate to conserve heat

impaired liver function, bile accumulate

composed of chondrocytes, rubbery, flexible matrix, no blood vessels, receive oxygen & nutrients via diffusion

discoloration of the skin resulting from bleeding underneath

called osseous tissue; composed of osteocytes & mineral salt crystals; storage site for calcium; red marrow

most common skin cancer, seldom metastasizes, typically on nose or face

high degree of excitability & conductivity

chronic low oxygen in blood (nails)

striated, voluntary

closest packed collagen fibers; no blood vessels, forms tendons, ligaments, fascia & protective capsule around kidneys, spleen, nerves

Tissue Type

white

lighter and less compact

arises in epidermis, scalp, forehead, backs of hands, red, scaly appearance

white part

dense outer surface

reticular fibers & cells; forms framework of spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow

white part

Exists as a fluid, liquid matrix (plasma), no fibers

increased blood flow in dilated blood vessels

white part

tissue type

deficiency of oxygen in the circulation blood

white part

most deadly, develops from melanocytes, sometimes pre-existing mole

intercalated discs, involuntary
