Functions: (1) They increase the surface area of the epidermis and thus function to increase the grip of the hand or foot by increasing friction; (2) the interdigitating pattern between epidermal ridges and dermal papillae creates a stronger bond between the epidermis and dermis in regions of high mechanical stress; and (3) they greatly increase the surface area, which increases the number of corpuscles of touch and thus increases tactile sensitivity. Because the ducts of sweat glands open on.
Are Figure 6.4 Histology of compact and spongy bone. (a) Sections through the diaphysis of a long bone, from the surrounding periosteum on the right, to compact bone in the middle, to spongy bone and the medullary cavity on the left. The inset at the upper right shows an osteocyte in a lacuna. (b and c) Details of spongy bone. See part (d) for a photomicrograph of compact bone tissue and the Clinical Connection on osteoporosis in Section 6.7 for a scanning electron micrograph of spongy bone.
Generate most of the ATP through aerobic (oxygen-requiring) respiration, mitochondria (mi¯-to¯-KONdre¯-a; mito-ϭthread; -chondriaϭgranules; singular is mitochondrion) are referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell. A cell may have as few as a hundred or as many as several thousand mitochondria, depending on the activity of the cell. Active cells that use ATP at a high rate, such as those found in the muscles, liver, and kidneys, have a large number of mitochondria. For example, regular exercise.
Dopamine-producing cells for Parkinson’s disease patients, and even entire livers and kidneys. • Liquid Connective Tissue BLOOD A liquid connective tissue has a liquid as its extracellular matrix. Blood, one of the liquid connective tissues, has a liquid extracellular matrix and formed elements. The extracellular matrix is called blood plasma. The blood plasma is a pale yellow fluid that consists mostly of water with a wide variety of dissolved substances— nutrients, wastes, enzymes, plasma.
