|
*Elastic Fibers - Thin *Collagen Fibers - Thick *Adipocytes - Storing energy *Mast Cells - Involved in wound healing and defense against pathogens |
Areolar Connective Tissue Location: Underneath the Dermis layer of skin Function: Holds organs in place *Fibroblasts - Cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen *Macrophages - Engulf and digest cellular debris *Plasma Cells - Secrete antibodies |
|
|
Adipose Connective Tissue Location: Deep underneath the skin Functions: Stores energy, provides cushion, insulates |
|
|
Dense Regular Connective Tissue Location: Between skeletal muscle and tendons Functions: Conducts pull of muscles, provides firm attachment |
|
|
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue Location: Deep in the dermis to the epithelium Functions: Provides strength to resist forces applied from many directions |
|
*Chondrocyte *Lacuna |
Hyaline Cartilage Connective Tissue Location: Trachea Functions: Provides flexible support, reduces friction *Perichondrium - Provides mechanical support and protection and attaches the cartilage to the other structures |
|
*Perforating (Volkmann's) Canal - Inside osteon, provide energy and nourishing elements *Canaliculi - Provide routes by which nutrients can reach the osteocytes and waste can leave |
Bone (Osseous) Connective Tissue Location: Outer layer of all bones *Lacuna *Osteocyte - Bone Cells *Central (Haversian) Canal- Contains blood vessels and nerves |
|
|
Blood Connective Tissue Function: Transport oxygen throughout the body *White Blood Cells - Leukocytes, help defend the body from infection and disease *Red Blood Cells - Erythrocytes, are responsible for the transport of oxygen in the blood *Platelets - Are membrane enclosed packets of cytoplasm that function in blood clotting |
|
|
Skeletal Muscle Tissue Location: Attached to the skeleton Function: Moves or stabilizes the position of the skeleton, guards entrances and exits to the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts, generates heat |
|
|
Cardiac Muscle Tissue Location: Heart Function: Circulates blood, maintains blood pressure *Intercalated Discs - Help to hold adjacent cells together and transmit the force of contraction from cell to cell |
|
|
Smooth Muscle Tissue - Teased Location: Digestive Tract, Respiratory System Function: Moves food, controls diameter of respiratory passageways |
|
*Axons - Carry the action potential away from the cell body towards the next neuron *Dendrites - Receive the electrical signals |
Neural Tissue Location: Spinal Cord Function: Control center of the nervous system *Cell Body (Soma) *Nucleus of Neuron *Nucleus of Astrocyte / Glial Cell |
