Anatomy material

loose connective tissue

Collogen and elastic fibers. binds body parts together and move freely\y. supports epithelial tissue.

dense regular tissue

Lots of collagen fibers. Great for resistance to tension. only a little stretch. Tendons and ligaments.

Dense irregular tissue

LOTs of collagen fibers. Tension in many directions. Covers kidneys, bone, muscle, and cartilage

Adipose tissue

composed of Adipocytes. Used for FAT STORAGE. it is the hypodermis (layer under the skin)

Epidermis

epidermis is composed mainly of stratified squamous epithelium. dry, waxy surface

Dermis

The dermis is broken down into two different sublayers. papillary layer is composed of loose connective tissue. reticular layer is made up of dense irregular connective tissue. anchor the epidermis and dermis, holding glands and hair follicles in place!

 

Hypodermis

resides beneath the skin and works to connect the skin to the underlying tissues. composed primarily of adipose tissue and loose connective tissue. Anchor the skin whereas the adipose tissue in this layer is for insulation, trapping body heat.

Hyaline cartilage

the chondrocytes (cartilage cell

s) appear spherical within their associated lacuna (space), and the collagen fibers, while abundant, are relatively undetectable.  Chondroblasts are visible along the periphery of the tissue (appearing narrowed in their lacunae), just deep to the perichondrium (the layer of connective tissue surrounding the cartilage).  ends of bones (articular cartilage), connecting the ribs to the sternum (costal cartilage) and in the trachea (respiratory cartilage). 

Elastic cartilage

contains collagen fibers, but it also contains more elastic fibers, which makes the ground substance stain darker. Be sure you can distinguish between both chondrocytes and chondroblasts in this tissue as well.  There are two main places we find elastic cartilage associated with the skeleton: the external ear and the epiglottis. 

Fibrocartilage

ibrocartilage consists of roughly parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers, as such is is designed to withstand both pressure and stretch.  You will find fibrocartilage in places such as the menisci of the knee and the discs between vertebrae (intervertebral discs).
