Supportive connective
What are the loose connectives
Adipose, reticular, areolar
What are the dense connectives
Regular - tendon ligament
Irregular - skin, submucosa, GI tract
Supportive connective tissues
Cartilage and bone
Liquid connective tissues
Blood and lymph
Function of adipose
Supports, protects, and insulates, serve as energey reserve
Function of dense regular
Provide strong attachment between structures
Function of dense irregular
Provide strength
Elastic cartilage function
Give support, maintains shape, allows flexibility
Functions of reticular tissue
Forms the framework of organs and binds together smooth muscle tissue cells
Functions of haversian canals
Allow blood vessels and nerves to travel through them to supply the osteocytes.
