Tissues: Connective Tissue
- most abundant and widely distributed of primary tissues
General Function of Connective Tissue
- binding and support
- protecting
- insulating
- storing reserve fuel
- substance transport (blood)
Main Classes
- Connective Tissue Proper
- All connective tissue except for bone, cartilage, and blood.
- loose connective tissue
- areolar
- functions
- reservoir of water and salts
- edema
- when area is inflamed it soaks up excess fluid and the area swells and becomes puffy
- supports and binds other tissues
- defends against infection with viscous ground substance
- store nutrients as fat
- structure
- gel-like matrix
- has all three fiber types
- fibroblast
- macrophages
- mast cells
- some white blood cells
- locations

- forms tendon which attach muscles to bones
- ligaments
- bind bones together at joints
- aponeuroses
- attach muscles to bones or other muscles
- tendons
- structure
- dense irregular connective tissue
- structure
- same as dense regular but collagen fiber is much thicker and fibers are arranged in irregular direction
- arrangement of collagen fibers allows for resistance of tension from many directions

- Bone
- also called osseous tissue
- structure
- vascular
- collagen
- inorganic calcium salts
- osteoblast
- produce organi portion or cartilage of the matrix
- osteocytes
- osteons (regions)
- concentric rings of bony matrix surrounding central canals containing blood vessels and nerves
- blood vessels
- nerves
- functions
- support
- protection
- store calcium
- store fats
- store other minerals
- blood formation by bone marrow
- location
- bones
- Blood
- fluid within blood vessels
- structure
- fluid
- blood plasma is matrix
- blood plasma is non-living.
- mostly red blood cells
- white blood cells

- nutrients
- waste
- etc
- transportation of substances
- Connective Tissue Proper
General Characteristics of Connective Tissue
- tissue originates from mesenchyme
- an embryonic tissue
- vary degree of vascularity
- composed mostly of extracellular matrix
- matrix allows connective tissue to bear weight, withstand great tension, endure other abuses
- nonliving
- tissue originates from mesenchyme
Structural Elements of Connective Tissue
- the %composition varies in different connective tissues
- ground substance
- unstructured substance that fills space between cells.
- medium
- substance diffuse through blood capillaries and cells
- components
- interstitial fluid
- tissue that bathes and surrounds the tissue cells of multicellular animals
- cell adhesion proteins
- allow connective tissue to attach themselves to the matrix elements
- proteoglycans
- something about the polysaccharides aggregated together to trap water creating a fluid to viscous gel
- interstitial fluid
- fibers
- provide support
- Types
- Collagen Fibers
- most abundant of the fiber types
- tensile strength
- longitudinal strength
- strongest fiber
- Elastic Fibers
- form branching networks in the extracellular matrix. This branching allows stretch and recoil of connective tissue
- Reticular Fibers
- short, fine, highly branched collagen fibers. branch forming networks
- Collagen Fibers
- cells
- Blast CElls
- Immature form of cell. It is mitotically and secrete ground substances and fibers
- Fibroblast
- connective tissue proper
- Chondroblast
- cartilage
- Osteoblast
- bones
- cyte cells
- mature form the cells in connective tissue. They maintain the health of the matrix and mitotically divide to repair the matrix if it becomes injured
- chondrocyte
- in cartilage
- osteocytes
- in bones
- other cells in connective tissue
- fat cells
- store nutrients
- white blood cells
- tissue response to injury
- neutrophil
- eosinophils
- lymphocytes
- mast cells
- initiate local inflammatory response against foreign microorganisms they detect
- macrophages
- phagocytic cells that eat dead cells, microorganisms, and function in the immune system
- fat cells
- Blast CElls
