functions of connective tissue
protection support metabolic
cellular components of connective tissue (types)
structural
defence
undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells
composition of ct
living cells
ECM
component of ECM
ground substance
fibres
structural cells in ct
fibroblasts
chondrocytes
adipocytes
osteocytes
ECM fibres
collagen
reticular
elastin
collagen fibre property
high tensile strength
reticular fibre property and use
delicate fibres
packing
elastin fibres property and use
stretch
used for artery walls

function of loose ct
space and packing
connects muscle and skin
fuction of dense ct
protection and attactment
examples of specialised ct

dentine
types of cartilage
hyaline
fibrocartilage
elastic cartilage
composition of hyaline cartilage
Dense matrix:
collagen II
ground substance
composition of fibrocartilage
collagen fibres less gs
composition of elastic cartilage
elastin and collagen fibres
some ground substance
bone ct composition
collagen I
calcified ECM gs
trabecular: dense
Compact: loose
what do undifferentiated mesenchymal stem cells do
differentiate into new CT cells
defence cells
macrophages
neutrophils
lymphocytes
what does the ECM give
structural properties
proportion of components gives structure of ECM
