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. 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). 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. 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. 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”.. Form metabolic and structural connections between other tissues… nutrition and support. Forms a protective sheath around organs and helps insulate the body…cushion. Acts as a reserve for energy…storage. Connective Tissue - Recall. Epithelial Tissue (yesterday’s material). Basement Membrane. Connective Tissue. Three common types of cells found in connective tissue matrix:. 1. . Mast cells . – prevent blood clots. 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.
