Bone

Description: Hard calcified mantric containing many collagen fibers; osteocytes lie in the lacunae. *well vascular

New cards

Hyaline Cartilage

Description: Firm matrix, collagen fibers form network, and chondrocytes lie in the lacunae

Function: Supports and reinforces, serves as a cushion, and resists compressive stress

Location: Forms embryonic skeleton, covers the end of long bones, forms coastal cartilage of the ribs

Fibrocartilage

Description: Matrix similar to but less first than matrix in hyaline cartilage. Thick collage fibers prominent.

Function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock

Location: Intervertebral Dics

New cards

Regular (dense)

Description: Primarily parallel collagen fibers, some elastic fibers

Function: Attaches muscle to bones or muscles to muscles. Can withstand great tensile stress when pulling force is applied in one direction

Location: Tendons and Ligaments

New cards

Areolar (loose)

Description: Gel-like matrix with all three fiber types. Contains fibroblasts, macrophage, mast cells, and some white blood cells.

Function: Wraps and cushions organs

Location: Forms lamina proprio (underneath epithelial tissue)

New cards

Adipose (loose)

Description: Closely packed fat cells in the matrix have nucleus pushed to the side my a large fat droplet

Function: Provides reserve fuel, insulates, and protects organs

Location: under the skin, around kidneys and eyeball, abdomen, breasts

New cards

Reticular (loose)

Description: Network of reticular fibers in a typical loose ground substance; reticular cells lie on the network.

Function: Fibers form a soft internal skeleton that supports other cells types, including white blood cells, mast cells, and macrophages.

Location: Lymphoid Organs

New cards

Blood

Description: Red and while cells in a fluid matrix (plasma)

Function: Transport of respiratory gasses, nutrients, wastes, etc.

Location: Contained within blood vessels

New cards

Elastic Cartilage

Description: Has more elastic fibers in the matrix then hyaline cartilage

Function: Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility

Location: Supports the external ear, epiglottis

New cards

Dense irregular CT

Description: Primarily irregularly arranged collagen fibers, some elastic fibers

Function: Able to withstand tension extorted in amy directions and provides structural strength

Location: Dermis of the skin and fibrous capsules of organs and joints

Elastic Connective Tissue

Description: Dense regular connective tissue containing a high proportion of elastic fibers

Function: Allows recoil of tissues following stretching, allows pulsating flow through arterial walls

Location: Walls of the large arteries
