Classes of CT
Connective tissure proper, cartilage, bone tissue, blood
Characteristics of CT
1. Relatively few cells, lots of EM
2. EM consists of ground substance (gel-like substance) and protein fibers (collagen, reticular, and elastic).
3. Embryonic origin - mesenchyme
Areolar CT
CT proper -Loose connective tissue --> model.
Most widespread use of CT proper
Has structures shared by other CT
Functions: Wraps and cushions organs, holds and conveys tissue fluid, and important role in inflammation.

Locations: Widely distributed under epithelial
Package organs
Surrounds capillaries
CT Proper
Fibrblasts, Defense Cells, Fat Cell.
Six different type
Functions as a binding tissue
Resists mechanical stress, particularly tension.
Cartilage
Chondrocytes, Condroblasts found in growing cartilage.

Resist scompression b/c of large amount of water held in matrix
Functions to cushion and support

Ground substance holds fluid.
Defense cells fight infection.
Fat cells store nutrients (adipose and adipocytes)
Adipose Tissue
Reticular CT
Fibroblast

Two types Ossification
Intramembranous ossification --> no moedling, directly formed from mesenchyme

Endochondral --> first modeled in hyaline cartilage then gradually replaced
Steps of intramembraneous
1. Mesenchyme cluster into osteoblasts
2. Secrets organic bone matrix called osteoid
3. once suroounded, becomes osteocytes.
Steps of endochondral ossification
2nd month of development
1. Bone collar froms around diaphysis (cartilage model, surrounded by perichondrium)
2. Cartilage califies in the center of the diaphysis --> the condrocytes in the center enlarge.

two main types of muscle contraction
isotonic - eccentric and concentric
isomertric- neither lengthens nor shortens as it contracts
Eccentric contraction
muscle lengthens to generate force, any activity where muscles act as “breaks”
Concentric contraction
muscle shortens as it contracts to do work (The rising part of a squat as your quads shorten as you stand up).
