Connective Tissue (Jasmine) Flashcards
What are the main functions of Connective Tissues?
Provide support (bone), Store energy (fat) and transport materials (blood)
Where does Connective Tissue derive from?
Mesoderm
Differences between Epithelial versus Connective Tissue
Connective tissue is highly vascularized versus Epithelial which is not vascularized. Connective derives from mesoderm and Epithelial derives from ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm.
Connective Tissue connects the epithelium to the rest of the body. Which is called?
Basal Lamina
Classification of Connective Tissue
- Connective Tissue Proper 2. Fluid Connective Tissue 3. Supportive Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue Proper does what?
Connects and protects
Fluid Connective Tissues do what?
Transport
Supportive Connective Tissues do what?
Provide Structural Support
What are the Categories of Connective Tissue Proper?
- Loose Connective Tissue
- More ground substance, less fibers
- Ex. Adipose Tissue
- Dense Connective Tissue
- Less ground substance, more fibers
- Ex: Tendons
