Connective tissue functions |
*physical protect (bone and fat) *Support and Structural framework (bones and cartilage) *Binding of structures (tendons and ligaments) *sorage (fat and bone) *transport (blood) *Immune Protection |
|
|
Types of connecting tissue |
connective tissue proper supporting connective tissue fluid connective tissue |
|
|
Connective Tissue Proper |
has CT cells and protein fibers in ground substance |
|
|
resident cells |
permanently in CT -SUPPORT, MAINTAIN, REPAIR! |
|
|
wandering cells |
move about CT- Immune protection |
|
|
Resident cell types: |
FIBROBLAST ADIPOCYTE FIXED MACROPHAGES MESENCHYMAL MELANOCYTES |
|
|
Wandering cell types:
|
mast cells different immune cells |
|
|
3 fiber types |
collagen ellastic reticular |
|
|
Collagen |
strong, flexible, resistant to stretching (ligament and tendons) |
|
|
Elastic |
stretch easily due to coiled structure, retain original shape after stretching |
|
|
reticular |
similar to collage, but different in framework, found in the makeup of the bodys organs |
|
|
types of connective tissue proper |
Loose & Dense |
|
|
Loose Connective Tissue |
fewer cells and protein fibers-loosley arranged. occupies space between and around organs. provides support and cushioning |
|
|
Dense Connective Tissue |
LOTS of cells and protein fibers LOTS of collagen |
|
|
Loose connective tissue types |
Areolar Adipose Reticular |
|
|
Areolar CT |
contains all cell types. least specialized. found nearly everywhere |
|
|
Adipose CT |
Adipocytes (fat cells) padding, shock absorber, energy source cant divide |
|
|
Reticular CT |
Meshwork like structure fibroblast and leukocytes stroma of lymophatic organs |
