White blood cell

What connective tissue is this?

Free cell

What type of connective tissue is adipose?

Has nucleus

Difference of connective and simple squamous epithelial tissue

Loose connective tissue

What connective tissue is this?

Areolar

common type of loose connective tissue that acts as the body's universal packing material. It supports and binds other tissues, holds organs in place, and surrounds blood vessels, nerves, and muscles using a gel-like matrix filled with protein fibers.

Loose connective tissue

a soft, flexible padding that holds organs in place, attaches epithelial tissue to underlying structures, and cushions blood vessels and nervesIt features a watery gel matrix with loosely arranged collagen and elastic fibers

Reticular connective tissue

What tissue is this?

Regular and Irregular dense

Types of dense connective tissue

Dense regular

Fibers line up in a parallel pattern. This gives strong resistance to pulling forces in one main direction. Found in tendons and ligaments

Dense connective tissue

a structural body tissue made mostly of strong collagen fibers and repair cells called fibroblasts

Tendon

Example of regular ct

Dermis

Example of irregular ct

Trachea

What example of hyaline cartilage

Hyaline Cartilage

Has Chondrocytes secrete and maintain surrounding matrix they have the ability to romance the cartilage by bone thru endochondral ossification 

Ear

Example of elastic cartilage

Elastic cartilage

HAS ELASTIC FIBERS -  It differs from hyaline cartilage in its greater opacity, yellowish color & greater flexibility

Fibrocartilage

the toughest and strongest type of cartilage in the body.

Intervertebral disc

What example of Fibrocartilage
