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. 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. 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.. . 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. 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.. 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. 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. 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, . 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.
