Connective Tissue Flashcards
What are the two types of connective tissue?
Non-binding connective tissue
Binding connective tissue
What consists of non-binding connective tissue?
Blood/ lymph
What consists of binding connective tissue?
Loose connective tissue
Dense connective tissue
Cartilage
Bone
Non-binding connective tissue of blood/ lymph is?
Formed elements= cellular, plasma, = water, dissolved salts, nutrients, nitrogenous waste, CO2, albumin, fibrinogen, globulins
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Loose connective tissue
Little protein in extracellular matrix
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
areolar
Collagen, forms interstitia
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Adipose
Lipid droplets, fat
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Reticular
Reticulin, net or filter structure of lymph organs
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Dense connective tissue
Much protein in extracellular matrix
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Regular
Parallel collagen fibers (ex tendons)
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Irregular
Nonparallel collagen fibers (ex dermis of skin)
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Elastic
Elastin (pinna of ear, epiglottis)
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Fibrous
Fibrin, very tough joints (intervertebral discs)
BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Bone
Highly vascular used extracellular matrix of precipitated collagen and apatite calcium phosphate, osteocytes reside in lacunae, Appositional growth only
NON BINDING CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Loose connective tissue
Little protein in extra cellular matrix
