HAP Connective tissues

Adipose

A tissue that surrounds organs, protect and insulate organs, and has an intracellular matrix of lipids

Elastic cartilage

Tissue that contains loosely held collagen and elastic fibers, makes up epiglottis of the larynx

areolar

Tissue that contains loosely held collagen and elastic fibers, makes up connective tissue of mucous membranes and around nearly every body structure

Dense Fibrous

contains fibroblasts and regularly arranged fibers

Fibrocartilage

Tissue that is found in the pubic system, contains chondrocytes with a lot of thick bundles of collagen fibers

Hyaline cartilage

Tissue that is smooth and rubbery, withstanding pressure and reducing friction in certain places

Bone and cartilage

Found in supported connective tissues

Osteoblast

builds up bone tissue

Connective tissue

Tissue type that secretes a matrix, are vascular and have interspersed cells

Chondrocyte

A cartilage cell

Ostecyte

a bone cell

Mast cells

involved in inflammation

Hyaline cartilage

Fibrocartilage

Tissue

a group of cells that are grouped by function and structure

Connective, Epithelial, muscle, and nevous

Four types of tissue

cellularity, polarity, attachment, vascularity, and regeneration

Characteristics of Epithelial tissues

secretion, protection, absorption, transportation, and special sensory receptive

Functions of Epithelial tissue

Cilliated columnar

found in the respiratory tract, helps move/clear substances

Stratified squamous

protects underlying tissue by protecting against microorganisms and protects form water loss

Connective tissue membranes

encapsulates organs and moves joints

epithelial membranes

also known as mucous membranes

Visceral membranes

inner membranes that lines body cavities

parietal membranes

outer lining of body cavities

matrix and cells

General structural characteristics of connective tissues

supporting organs, transporting nutrients/waste, protection, and storing fat

Connective tissue main functions

Matrix

extracellular substance secreted in connective tissues

Loose connective tissues

holds organs in place

dense connective tissues

connects muscles to bones

Specialized connective tissues

stores and regulates energy and temperature

Made of cells, has a matrix, takes up large amounts of ground surface, contains protein fiber

Characteristics of connective tissues

Supporting, connecting, protecting, storing, transporting

Functions of Conective tissues

They are avascular, meaning there isn’t much blood flow

why does it take longer for tendons and ligaments longer to heal than bones?

Hyaline, Fibro, Elastic

Three types of cartilage

Blood

transports oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste through the body

regular

type of dense connective tissue that connects muscles to bones and bone to bone

bone

type of connective tissue with one of the hardest extracellular matrices that forms a protective structure used for muscle attachment, also called osteocyte

areolar

type of loose connective tissue that separates the cells of the body from the bloodstream

adipose

type of connective tissue also known as fat. Stores excess nutrients and fats as energy, it also insulates the body

cartilage

Semi solid connective tissue that is used both as a protective and supportive structure within the body, can be found in the nose, ears, ribs, and vertebral disks

Fibrous

type of dense connective tissue with irregularly arranged fibers that provides strength where tension is exerted in various directions such as in the dermis

osteoblast

specialized connective tissue responsible for synthesis/mineralization of bone

Chondrocyte

Cells found in cartilage of connective tissue

Erythrocyte

Red blood cells containing a matrix

Osteoclast

a type of cell found in bone

Hyaluronic acid

lubricates, cell growth, found in manny connective tissues

bone and cartilage

Supportive connective tissue include

secretes a matrix, has interspersed cells and are vascular

Three characteristics of the connective tissue

Mast cells

involved in inflammation
