PPT-Common Characteristics of Connective Tissue

Most common Well supplied with blood tendons and ligaments Made up of many types of cells and extracellular matrix Extracellular matrix Produced by the connective tissue cells. Connective Tissue. 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. 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). Seema. . Zargar.

CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER ADIPOSE TISSUE q Adult connective tissues Dr Iram Tassaduq. ‘Connective tissue’ is the term traditionally applied to a basic type of tissue of mesodermal origin which provides structural and metabolic support for other tissues and organs throughout the body, also known as “Supporting tissue”..
