Connective Tissues Flashcards
originated from the embryonic mesenchyme that is differentiated into fibroblasts that develop into different types
connective tissues
functions of connective tissue
- support
- connect tissues to another (eg., muscle to bones and bones to bones)
- packing & binding materials
- storage
- transport & defense
5 major types
- bones
- cartilage
- adipose
- reticular
- gelatinous
2 general classifications of connective tissues
- loose connective tissue
- dense connective tissue
three main components of connective tissues
- cells
- fibers
- ground substance
5 overlapping types of connective tissues
- connective tissue proper
- specialized connective tissue
- embryonic connective tissue
- supporting connective tissue
- hematopoietic tissue
dense connective tissue can either be
- dense regular
- dense irregular
examples of specialized connective tissue
- bone
- cartilage
- hematopoietic blood
- adipose tissue
examples of embryonic connective tissue
- mesenchyme connective tissue
- mucous connective tissue
examples of supporting connective tissue
- bones
- cartilage
examples of hematopoietic tissue
- blood
- bone marrow
adipose tissue can be divided into
- white adipose
- brown adipose
specialized connective tissue in which cells are suspended in the intercellular fluid
hematopoietic tissue
reticular and elastic tissue are also classified as ______
specialized connective tissue
loose connective tissue is also called
areolar connective tissue
dense collagenous tissues are exemplified by
- tendons
- ligaments
- fascia
- aponeurosis
areolar connective tissue is present is the ____ and even in the _____ of the mucus membrane
- serosa in the basement membrane
- lamina propria
elastic tissues are found in the
- tunica media of main arteries
- pigment cells or chromatophores
- blood
specialized and supporting connective tissue consist of
- bone
- cartilage
connective tissue disposed into the lamellae or layered organic matrix surrounding resting bone cells in lacunae
