PPT-Connective Tissues

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. 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. 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.. . Seema. . Zargar. Most diverse and abundant tissue. Main classes. Connective tissue proper. Cartilage. Bone tissue. Blood. Characteristics. Mesenchyme. as their common tissue of origin (. mesenchyme. Key Terms. Histology:. the study of tissues.. Tissues:. groups of cells which are similar in structure and which perform common or related functions.. Four Basic Kinds of Tissues. Epithelial Tissue. CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER ADIPOSE TISSUE q Adult connective tissues 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:. . Fibrocytes. (or fibroblasts) . 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. 9/21. 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?. BIO 137: Anatomy & . Physiology . I. Tissues. Tissues are a group of cells with a common embryonic origin that function together to carry out specialized activities.. They include various types, . Connect body parts, widely distributed. Functions. Protect, Support, Bind. Characteristics. Varied blood supply. Contain an extracellular matrix. Extracellular Matrix. Produced by connective tissues. 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?. 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.. 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..
