SPECIALIZED CELLS AND TISSUE

Adipocytes

________ are cells that are found surrounding internal organs and under the skin, and they are responsible for the formation of a fatty connective tissue known as adipose.

Spongy bone

________ has a honeycomb- like structure that is both lightweight and strong, and it is in these huge open areas where bone marrow may be found.

Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nerve tissue

are the four primary forms of tissue, each of which originates from a distinct cell layer in the early embryo.

Connective tissues

include blood, bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments among other things. 

**White matter**

Contains a lengthy nerve that is wire-like and insulated.

**Gray matter**

Contains both the bodies of nerve cells and support cells.

**Nerve tissue**

A view of nerve tissue taken using a microscope, displaying the glial cells that are there to support the nerve cells (neurons).

**Elastic cartilage**

Tough yet flexible; The most common

Chondrocytes

which are spherical cells, can be seen in a sample of cartilage taken from the epiglottis.

**Elastic cartilage**

These cells are embedded in fibers of elastin, which give the cartilage its lightness and flexibility.

**Loose connective tissue**

A portion of the connective tissue in the body is made up of cells that are only loosely encased in the fibers.

nuclei

The _ of fibroblast cells can be observed here as black dots.

**Connective dermal tissue**

Connects dermis of skin to underlying organs

**Skeletal muscle tissue**

Connective tissue that is white in color surrounds each bundle of contractive filaments, which can be seen here in the form of stripes. 

**Dense connective tissue**

This sturdy and dense tissue is present in the lower layer of the epidermis, as well as in the ligaments and tendons (dermis).

**Dermis**

Lower layer of skin

**Sweat gland**

Part of epithelial tissue Of skin

**Adipose tissue**

Adipocytes are cells that are found surrounding internal organs and under the skin, and they are responsible for the formation of a fatty connective tissue known as adipose.

**Fat tissue**

Beneath dermis layer Of skin

Smooth muscular tissue

is characterized by its long fibers, which are responsible for involuntary contractions.
