matrix
extracellular material of tissue
4 types of tissue
epithelial, connective, nervous, muscular
basement membrane
bn epithelium and connective tissue, is an anchor
connective tissue functions
binding organs, support, physical protection, immune protection, movement, storage, heat production, transport
collagenous fibers
tough, flexible, no stretch tho
25% of body total protein
white
reticular fibers
thing collagen fibers coated with glycoprotein, spongy
elastic fibers
thin, branching,
made of elastin
ground substance diversity
can be stony, rubbery, and crazy
loose connective tissue
mostly ground substance, 2 types
dense connective tissue
tough, ermmmm
mast cells
blood clot shit, bloody one
areolar tissue
lose, lots of space
in blood vessels
has all fiber cell types
found everywhere
reticular tissue
mess of reticular fibers n stuff
makes organs
dense regular connective tissue
parallel dense collagen fibers
tendons and ligaments
dense irregular tissue
thick, random
resist unpredictable stress
dermis, around kidneys and other organs
fibrous connective tissue
forms filler around structures
space bn adipocytes is occupied by
areolar tissue, reticular tissue, blood capillaries
white adipose tissue
more abundant,
solid and greasy
thermal insulation, anchors, cushions or organs, and secrets hormones
brown adipose tissue
found in fetuses, infants, and children
heat generating
cartilage
stiff,
in the nose, ears, larynx, trachea, thoracic cavity
what produces cartilage
chondroblast
lacunae
small cartilage cavities
hyaline cartilage
clear, glassy, small ermmmm
chondrocytes
cartilage surrounded by lacunae
