PPT-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. 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:. 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 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.. 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.
