|
Areolar CT
|
Location: Surrounds organs, "UNIVERSAL PACKING MATERIAL"
Function: Protection, Absorption of ISF |
|
|
Adipose CT
|
Location: wraps around most vital organs or supports vital organs (in ventral body cavity)
Function: Shock absorber, Triglycerides store energy, Insulation |
|
|
Dense Regular CT
|
Function: Parallel rows of collagen fibers alternating with rows of fibroblasts, support
Location: Tendons, Ligaments, Aponeuroses, Fascia |
|
|
Dense Irregular CT
|
Function: Thicker bundles of collagen fibers arranged in an irregular fashion -- face several directions
Location: Reticular layer of dermis, Forms joint capsules and their fibrous capsules, highly vascularized |
|
|
Elastic CT
|
Function: Allows structures to stretch under pressure and to recoil to their original size/shape
Location: The ventricles of the heart, Bronchi in lungs |
|
|
Reticular CT
|
Function: involved in the immune response because it allows for proliferation of the lymphoid cells
Location: forms stroma (internal skeleton) of the lymphoid organs |
|
|
Hyaline cartilage
|
Function: Support, protection, shock absorbers; glossy appearance due to fine collagen fibers
Location: forms embryonic skeleton ARTICULAR cartilage - caps ends of long bones COSTAL cartilage - connects ribs to sternum EPIPHYSEAL plates - allows longitudinal bone growth |
|
|
Fibrocartilage
|
Function: Tough but flexible and it acts as a shock absorber
Location: Forms intervertebral discs, forms knee pads (menisci), forms pubic symphisis, similar to hyaline cartilage but less firm due to thick collagen fibers |
|
|
Elastic cartilage
|
Function: Allows for stretch and recoil
Location: Pinna and epiglottis, similar to hyaline cartilage but with elastic fibers |
|
|
Cutaneous membrane
|
Overlying tissue: Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Underlying tissue: Dense, irregular CT |
|
|
Mucous membrane
|
Overlying tissue: Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium or simple columnar epithelium
Underlying tissue: Areolar CT (LAMINA PROPRIA) |
|
|
Serous membrane
|
Overlying tissue: MESOTHELIUM (simple squamous epithelium)
Underlying tissue: Areolar CT Names: PERICARDIUM, PLEURA, PERITONEUM (abdominopelvic) |
|
|
Synovial membrane
|
Overlying tissue: Areolar CT
Underlying tissue: Dense irregular CT |
|
|
Carcinoma
|
cancer of epithelial tissues
|
|
|
Adenoma
|
benign or malignant neoplasia of the glandular epithelium
|
|
|
Sarcoma
|
cancer of the connective or muscle tissue
|
|
|
Melanoma
|
cancer of the MELANOCYTES - deadliest form of skin cancer
|
