PPT-Connective tissue III. Connective Tissues

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. 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:. 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). 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. 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. 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, . Connect body parts, widely distributed. Functions. Protect, Support, Bind. Characteristics. Varied blood supply. Contain an extracellular matrix. Extracellular Matrix. Produced by connective tissues. 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 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. 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.
