Most diverse amp abundant tissue Main Role Strength against forces Protect organs Maintain organ shape Provide frame for muscle pull 2 Components Cells matrix Cells Matrix ground substance. Page 81 - 85. Functions. Protection. Support. Binding together other body tissues. Characteristics. Most connective tissues are vascularized (have good blood supply). Ligaments and tendons are exceptions. Tissues (generic). Digital Laboratory. It’s best to view this in . Slide Show . mode, especially for the quizzes.. This module will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.. After completing this exercise, you should be able to:. KEEPING THE BODY TOGETHER. Functions of connective tissue:. Interconnection of tissues. Support and motion. Storage. Cushioning and insulation. Enclosing and separating. Transport. protection. Characteristics of connective tissue. Connective Tissue. Found everywhere in the body. Most abundant and widely distributed of the primary tissues. Major functions. :. Binding and support (bone and cartilage). Protection (bone and cartilage). CONNECTIVE TISSUE. Connective tissue is one of the basic tissues which gives structural and metabolic support to the organ and other tissue of the body.. It connects other tissues.. . CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER ADIPOSE TISSUE q Adult connective tissues * most abundant and widely distributed tissue. * functions:. binds structures together. supports and protects . fills spaces. produces blood cells. stores energy. provides immunity. Prepared by : . Reem Aldossari. Connective tissue is the most diverse of the four tissue types with a wide variety of Functions.. The connective tissues. Functions of connective tissue:. *. Protection of organs. 4-. 2. Tissue Level of Organization. The classification of tissue types is based on the structure of cells; the composition of noncellular substance surrounding cells (extracellular matrix) and the functions of the cells.. General Characteristics. Does have blood vessels- . variations in blood supply (ligaments and tendons don’t heal as fast because they are poorly vascularized). Cartilage is avascular –no blood supply- heals very slowly. 9/20. Review the origins of the four primary tissue types. What extracellular fibers are found in connective tissue?. What is the function of connective tissue?. What are characteristics of the ten different connective tissues?. Cells become specialized to perform specific functions. Tissues are:. groups of similar cells that perform the same function. Tissues differ from each other in:. 1. size, . 2. shape. 3. arrangement, . A. General . Characteristics. 1. Connective tissues function to . bind structures, provide support and protect, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infections, and help repair tissue damage.. . Tissues have two interacting components:. Cells .. . Extracellular matrix (ECM).which is consist of many kinds of macromolecules.. The (ECM) function :. Supports the cells and the fluids that transports nutrients to the cells ..
