Connective tissue

Dense connective tissue is part of the connective tissue proper classification which is found in adult connective tissues. Dense connective tissue can be categorized as either dense collagenous connective tissue or dense elastic connective tissue. Dense collagenous connective tissue is found in tendons, ligaments, dermis, and many capsules that surround our organs. The extracellular matrix is mostly made up of collagen fibers and depending on the direction these fibers are running the matrix can be categorized as dense regular or dense irregular. In dense regular collagenous connective tissue the collagen fibers run in the same parallel direction. Which helps tendons to attach muscle to the bone and ligaments to attach bones to other bones.…

Image 10 compact bone tissue In an image, 10 compact bone tissues give support and structure to the body and permit movement. It also stores calcium and has blood-shaping cells. 2] It consists of osteons and Haversian system. The osteons has a canal which is encompassed by concentric rings of matrix. 1] There are four main types of tissues; epithelium, connective, nervous and muscle, inside of every tissue type, there are varieties present. In image 1, 2 and 3 are of epithelium tissues that…

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, or Stone Man’s Disease, is a disorder in which muscle tissue and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, are replaced by bone outside the skeleton when the tissue is wounded. When the extra bone grows over the necessary bone, precise movements are restrained, such as bending the elbow, and rotating the neck. FOP is an inherited disease that progresses over time, hence “Progressiva,” and never gets better. For this disease, there is no cure, only…

The focus is on stopping the spread of infection. Antibiotics help control the infection and make it possible to avoid surgery. Antibiotics are typically given for several weeks through an iv then to pill form. For more severe or chronic osteomyelitis requires surgery to remove the infected or dead bone and tissue followed by antibiotics. Surgery prevents further spreading of the infection. OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA Ontogenesis Imperfecta or brittle bone…

of a common disorder (Atinder). Marfan syndrome is a genetically inherited disorder that affects the connective tissues that exist through the body. Specifically, Marfan syndrome alters the FBN1 gene and this affects the production of fibrillin (NHGRI). Fibrillin is a protein that is produced by the body to give strength to connective tissue. Without this protein, connective tissues are susceptible to breaking, ripping, or tearing (Atinder). Some areas that are more directly affected by Marfan…

Ligaments connect bones together and are made up of grossly parallel, fibrous, dense connective tissue.1 Many ligaments are parts of anatomically inseparable structures known as joint capsules, and this is certainly the case with the wrist. Ligaments often have a more vascular overlying layer termed the "epiligament" covering their surface. This layer is often indistinguishable from the actual ligament and merges into the periosteum of the bone around the attachment sites of the ligament.7…

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy Zachary Uecker Genetic Disease Abstract Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease that targets skeletal muscles and over time, the muscles lose protein and are replaced by fats and connective tissue, making the skeletal muscles unusable. In this paper, the parts of Duchenne’s that will be covered are the method of transmission, statistics about Duchenne’s in the population, the pathophysiology, the body systems…

last layer is the subcutaneous tissue known as the hypodermis. A. Epidermis - This outer layer has stratified squamous epithelium to make the skin solid and strong. The epidermis…

human insulin, growth hormone, clotting factors, fertility drugs, and vaccines. In 1960s, researchers first discovered that bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the medullary cavities - the centers of bones contains at least two types of stem cells. One type named "hematopoietic" stem cell found to form all kinds of blood cells. The second type of stem cell was called "stromal cells" cartilage, and connective tissue cells. Which mean are nerves in all around are body, those cells…

are weak. Although, in severe cases fracture of bones can occur before birth. This disease is caused by defective connective tissue and the lack of Type One Collagen. There are eight recognized forms of Osteogenesis Imperfecta ranging from Type I to Type VIII. Different signs and symptoms can differentiate the eight types of OI. My research is focused on OI Type I, which by the way is the mildest and least severe form of this…
