Connect body parts widely distributed Functions Protect Support Bind Characteristics Varied blood supply Contain an extracellular matrix Extracellular Matrix Produced by connective tissues. 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. 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. 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. Types of tissues:. TYPES OF TISSUES:. 1. Epithelial, nervous, muscle, connective. 2. Connective tissue: . . a. Contains few cells- spaced apart. . b. Defensive (type)- defends the body. ex. WBC. 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.. 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, . 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.. Cells become specialized to perform specific functions. Tissues are:. groups of similar cells that perform the same function. Tissues differ from each other in:. 1. size, . 2. shape. 3. arrangement, . 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.. Connective and Supportive tissues:- Type of body tissues specialized to physically support and connect other tissues and maintain water required for metabolite diffusion to and from cells. . Tissues have two interacting components:. Cells .. . Extracellular matrix (ECM).which is consist of many kinds of macromolecules.. The (ECM) function :. Supports the cells and the fluids that transports nutrients to the cells .. Most abundant tissue type!. Functions:. Protection. Support. Binding together. Connective Tissues. All connective tissues are made up of cells and . extracellular matrix.. The extracellular matrix is secreted by the cells.. 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. *Providing structural framework for the body. -our second tissue type-. Text readings: chapter. 5. Connective Tissue. Lecture Outline. Function and Common Characteristics of all Connective Tissues. Connective Tissue Proper : its cells, fibers, and ground substance.
