Connective Tissue Flashcards
These tissues support and bind.
Less compact and loosely arranged.
composed of an extracellular matrix
Connective tissue
These have fibers that are mainly made of collagen.
ARRANGED PARALLEL TO ONE ANOTHER
Example is the tendon
Dense connective tissue
FIBERS ARE ARRANGED OR ORIENTED RANDOMLY.
Responsible for fastening the skin to muscle, muscle to muscle, and ensheathes lymphatic and blood vessels.
Example is subcutaneous layer of the skin
Loose connective tissue
What are the two classifications of Connective tissue?
General connective tissue
Specialized connective tissue
What are the three fiber types in Loose connective tissue?
Collagenous, reticular, and elastic.
This connective tissue has the presence of rounder clear spaces or holes. They are closely spaced and separated in between by thin fibrous strands.
This tissue contains FAT, stored energy
Adipose connective tissue
This is a protein that aids in support of connective tissue
Collagen
This connective tissue is elastic, and devoid of blood vessels.
Example is the spinal column
Fibrocartilage
This connective tissue helps bones move smoother.
An example is the NOSE
Hyaline Cartilage
This connective tissue contains RBC and WBC, and it transports oxygen and nutrients.
Blood
This connective tissue is also known as the OSSEOUS. Site of blood cell formation.
Bone
This connective tissue is the most flexible.
Example is the ear
Elastic cartilage
