Ptivides support to the body and helps connect different tissues to each other |
Connective tissue |
|
Structures in the body that maintains the form if the body and its organs |
Tissue |
|
The most widely distributed of all tissue type that connects many adjacent structure of the body |
Areolar/loose connective tissue |
|
Seen as thick wavy bundles that are scattered within the tussue spaces |
Collagen fibers |
|
Seen as thin branching fibers that look like fine strands of hair that are interposed along thick collagen fibers |
Elastic fibers |
|
This is the most numerous of the many types of cells found in this tissue, scattered within the fibers which are dark rounded structures |
Fibroblast |
|
Closely packed fat cells from the bulk of these tissue which are large, brilliant, spherical bodies whose cytoplasm reduce into thin layers |
Adipose tissue |
|
In the adipose tissue, the central part of the cell whuch us hollow indicates the presence of |
Fat droplets |
|
This tissue is masked by tge presence if reticular fiber that appears to be kinky threads. It forms the framework of lymphatic organs of the body |
Reticular tissue |
|
The entire specimen appears to be glassy or glossy in appearance. Found in the articulating joint of tge skeletal system. |
Hyaline cartilage |
|
Semi transparent glass like ground substance that fills the space of the cartilage |
Matrix |
|
These cells are scattered within the matrix. This forms groups or clusters |

|
Grouos or clusters that was being formed in the chondriocytes |
Cell families |
|
The space that surrounds the chondriocyte and the capsule around it |
Lacuna |
|
Appears to be a fibrous structure outside the margin of the cartilage that serves to cover the whole cartilage |
Perichondrium |
|
Oval shaped cells that are found outside the vartilage matrix scattered along the perichondrium |

Concentric lamellae |
|
Bony substance between the haversian canal system |
Interstitial lamellae |
|
Tiny dark elongated structure in the bony matrix embedded in the lacunae |
Osteocytes |
|
Tiny canal like structure formin a network where osteocytes communicate with each other |
Canaliculi |
|
Occupies the central portion of an osteon containing blood vessels and small amount of connective tissue. Communicates with volkmanns canal |
Haversian canal |
|
A tissue composed of many cells |
