PDF-Connective Tissue Diseases

Sam J Cunningham MD PhD Francis B Quinn Jr MD FACS The University of Texas Medical Branch Department of Otolaryngology Grand Rounds Presentation January 2004 Connective Tissue Diseases x. The dense layer of the basal lamina of all epithelial tissue is created by connective tissue. . Connective tissue connects the epithelium to the rest of the body.. Three Basic Components. Specialized cells. 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. I. t is a type of tissue that connect and support other body tissues, also called supporting tissue.. CLASSIFOCATION:. Classified on the basis of following four criteria. Relative proportion of various fibers. * most abundant and widely distributed tissue. * functions:. binds structures together. supports and protects . fills spaces. produces blood cells. stores energy. provides immunity. 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.. . College. Objectives. What is connective tissue. Types of connective tissues. Functions of connective tissues. Relation of structure and function. Tissues . Four fundamental tissues are recognized:. Epithelial tissue. A. Connective Tissue General Characteristics. 1. . Connective tissues:. a. Bind. . b. Support. . c. Protect. . d. serve . as frameworks. . e. fill . spaces. . f. store . fat. . g. produce . 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. Zargar. Most diverse and abundant tissue. Main classes. Connective tissue proper. Cartilage. Bone tissue. Blood. Characteristics. Mesenchyme. as their common tissue of origin (. mesenchyme. derived from mesoderm). - 1 Four primary tissues of body — • Epithelial tissue • Connective tissue • Muscle tissue • Nervous tissue • connective tissue is one of most abundent and widely distributed tissue of Zahiri. Formation of Type I collagen. Within . the cell. During translation, two types of peptide chains are formed on ribosomes along the . RER. (. the alpha-1 and alpha-2 . chains). These . peptide chains (known as . (cartilage and bone. ). Specialized Connective Tissue . * Include : Skeletal connective tissue (cartilage and bone).. skeletal connective tissue. :. Cartilage:. is a flexible connective tissue that keeps . Connective Tissue Lecture Objectives. List the functions of connective tissue. . Describe the structure, function, and appearance of collagen (types I, II, and III) and elastic fibers.. Explain what ground substance is and what it looks like..
