PPT-Connective tissue

KEEPING THE BODY TOGETHER Functions of connective tissue Interconnection of tissues Support and motion Storage Cushioning and insulation Enclosing and separating Transport protection Characteristics of connective tissue. 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. 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). CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER ADIPOSE TISSUE q Adult connective tissues Connective Tissue Cells.
