Proteoglycans
Glycoproteins

17
Q

What makes up the extra cellular matrix ?

A

Fibres and ground substance

18
Q

What will CT almost always support?

A

Epithelium

19
Q

Where is loose CT usually found ?

A

Widely distributed below epithelia
Forms the laminate propria of mucosa
Surrounds capillaries

20
Q

What does the low amount of fibres in loose CT mean ?

A

That there is a lot of space for a high population of cells

21
Q

Where is adipose tissue normally located ?

A

Under skin
Around kidneys
Within abdomen
Breasts

22
Q

What are the roles of adipose tissue?

A
  • reserve fuel
  • cushion
  • insulation
23
Q

Why do babies have brown fat?

A

As they have to develop thermoregulatory and therefore the brown fat produces heat in the newborn

24
Q

Why is brown fat brown ?

A
  • huge amount to vascularity

- abundance of mitochondria

25
Q

Where is dense irregular CT found?

A

Dermis
Submucosa of digestive tract
Fibrous capsules of organs

26
Q

What determines if a CT is dense regular or irregular ?

A

Arrangement of collagen fibres

27
Q

Where are dense regular tissue found ?

A

Ligaments (bone to bone)
Tendons (muscle to bone)
Aponeuroses (modified flattened tendons found on abdomen and back)
