3 classifications of connecitve tissue?
- Embryonic
- Connecitve tissue proper
- Specialized
- Mesenchyme
- Mucous Connective Tissue
Embryoni connecitve tissue
- Loose Connective Tissue
- Dense Connective Tissue

- Cartilage
- Bone
- Adipose Tissue
- Blood
- Hemopoietic Tissue
- Lymphatic Tissue
specialized connecitve tissue
- Derived from the mesoderm
- Found in the embryo
- Extracellular space occupied by viscous grpup substance with limited collagen fibers
Mesenchyme
E, con, tissue
- Present in umbilical cord
- Ground substance known as wharton’s jelly
Mucous Connective tissue
E, con, tissue
2 types of conencitve tissue proper?
- Loose connecitve tissue (areolar)
- Dense Connecitve tissue (regular & iregular
?
Loose Connective tissue
- Thin, relatively sparse collagen fibers
- Abundant ground substance
- Primarily located beneath epithelia
Loose connective tissue
where do sites of inflammation and swelling occur? significant swelling
Loose connective tissue
- Contains mostly collagen fibers
- Cells are sparse and * typically fibroblasts
- Very little ground substance
- Strong tissue, allows organs to resist excessive stretching and distention.
Dense connective tissue
Example of Dense connecitve tissue?
Reticular layer of dermis
Dense connecitve tissue
Ordered and densely packed arrays ____ with cells (tendioncytes) aligned between fiber bundles.
collagen fibers
Dense connective tissue is a functional component of what? (4)
- Tendons
- Ligaments
- Aponeuroses
- PDL
3 types of connecitve tissue fibers?
- Collagen
- Reticular
- Elastic
- Most abudant component of connecitve tissye
- Flexible high tensile strength
Collagen Fibers
What subunits make up collagen fibers?
collgen fibrils
* 68nm banding patter
* Gap
