where is fascia
embedded in and surrounding all tissues

cross systems
types of connective tissue
dense
loose
what does dense CT do
supports or limits motion
where is dense CT found
in bone, ligs, tendons and aponeuroses
how is dense CT aligned
parallel
tightly
dense CT has…
elastic stretch-plastic stretch rupture
10% lengthening before tearing
loose CT is
very flexible
where is loose CT found
in capsules, muscles, nerves, fascia and skin
loose CT alignment
random fiber orientation
loose CT has
greater lengthening w/o tension build up
about 80%
composition of bones
1/3 collagen fibers
2/3 mineral salts
collagen fibers
somewhat flexible
mineral salts
primarily calcium hydroxyapatite
rigid
how is bone formed
in response to stress
