Dr Archana Rani Associate Professor Department of Anatomy KGMU UP Lucknow 20112014 CONNECTIVE TISSUE INTRODUCTION Connective tissue serve as a connecting link for binding supporting and strength. 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. 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. 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) . 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. 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.

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.. 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). connective tissue . is applied to a tissue which fills the interstices between more specialized element and serve to hold them together and support them , for these reason connective tissue also called support tissue. It consist of three component that is cells, . 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 .
