Types of connective proper tissue
Loose- areolar, adipose, reticular
Dense- irregular, regular, elastic
Types of cartilage
Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
Location: lamina propria, packages organs
Function: wraps and cushions organs, inflammation
Connective tissue proper loose areolar
Location: under skin around kidneys and eyeballs, abodomen, breasts
Function: food fuel, insulates, supports protects organs
Connective tissue proper loose adipose
Location: lymphoid organs
Function: form internal skeleton supports other cells (wbc, mast, macro)
Connective tissue proper loose reticular
Location: fibrous joint capsules, dermis
Function: withstand tension provide structural strength
Connective tissue proper dense irregular
Location: tendons, ligaments
Function: attached muscle to bones, withstands tensile stress
Connective tissue proper dense regular
Location: Walls of large arteries (aorta), vertebral column, bronchial tubes
Function: allows tissues to recoil
Connective tissue proper dense elastic
Location: forms costal cartilage, nose, trachea, larynx
Function: supports and reinforces
Hyaline cartilage
