Connective Tissue Flashcards
Connective Tissue
Mostly matrix, some cells, fibers
Types of connective tissue
Connective tissue(loose and dense)
cartilage
blood
bone
Functions of connective tissue
binding and support
protection
insulation
transportation
Fibroblasts
connective tissue proper
Chondroblasts
cartilage
Osteoblasts
bone
Hematopoietic stem cells
blood
2 Loose connective tissue
Areolar and Adipose
under the epithelium
Areolar Connective Tissue
collagen, elastic fibers, matrix
Location of Areolar connective tissue
Under the epithelium tissue holding it together
function of Areolar tissue
wraps and cushion organs
Adipose Tissue
fat droplets
Location of Adipose tissue
under the breast, under the skin and eyes
Function of Adipose tissue
provide and reserve food fuel, protects organs, insulate heat loss
2 Dense Connective Tissue
Dense regular
Dense irregular
Dense regular
fibers going same direction
Function of dense regular tissue
attaches muscle to bone or other muscle
location of dense regular tissue
ligements and tendons
