PPT-Blood Chapter 10 Blood Type of connective tissue whose cells are suspended in a liquid

River of life Transports everything that must be carried from one place to another within the body Nutrients Wastes Heat Composition of Blood Blood cells or formed elements Red blood cells transports oxygen. 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. 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. 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 Cells. Connective tissue proper . cells are usually divided into two groups based on their ability to move within the connective tissue. .. FIXED CELLS:. .
