CONNECTIVE TISSUE {GENERAL} Flashcards
What are connective tissue ?
They are the most abundant and widely distributed tissue.
Helps in the linking and support
What are the components of the connective tissue ?
- Living cell
- Non living matrix
- Fibers - collagen
- elastic
What is the LIVING CELL ?
They secretes both matrix and fiber
What are the NON LIVING MATRIX ?
They are the intracellular ground substance
They are the derived polysaccharide (mucopolysaccharide)
What are the different types of the fibers ?
COLLAGEN - Unbranched , inelastic and made up of proteins collagin and they are white in color.
ELASTIC - Branched , elastic and made up of proteins elastin and they are yellow in color.
What is the function of these fibers ?
These fibers provide strength , elasticity and flexibility to the tissue .
What are the different types of the connective tissue ?
- LOOSE C.T.
a) Areolar tissue
b) Adipose tissue - DENSE C.T.
a) Regular C.T.
b) Irregular C.T. - SPECIALISED C.T.
a) Skeletal C.T.
- Cartilage
- Bone
b) Fluid C.T.
- Blood
- Lymph
What are loose c.t. , dense c.t. and specialized c.t. ?
- LOOSE C.T.
- They have less fiber in semi fluid matrix
- DENSE C.T.
- The have more fibers in less matrix
- SPECIALISED C.T.
- They have special characters
