PPT-The Connective Tissues

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. 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. Tissues (generic). Digital Laboratory. It’s best to view this in . Slide Show . mode, especially for the quizzes.. This module will take approximately 60 minutes to complete.. After completing this exercise, you should be able to:. 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. 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. 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 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) . 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. 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”.. College. Objectives. What is connective tissue. Types of connective tissues. Functions of connective tissues. Relation of structure and function. Tissues . Four fundamental tissues are recognized:. Epithelial 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. 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.. 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, .
