- Bone Tissue
- Most rigid connective tissue, Internally supports body structures, very active tissue, heals much more rapidly than cartilage
- fixed cells
- reside in the tissue for extended period of time
- Blood tissue
- Cells suspended in fluid called PLASMA
- Adipose Tissue
- a kind of body tissue containing stored fat that serves as a source of energy
- platelets
- clogs blood at a of an injury
- fibrocartilage
- cartilage that is largely composed of fibers like those in ordinary connective tissue
- white blood cells
- diease fighting cells in blood
- red blood cells
- take up oxygen in the lungs and deliver it elsewhere in the body. Made in the bone marrow, live about 120 days.
- cartilage
- A specialized type of fibrous connective tissue present in adults, which forms the major portion of the embryonic skeleton
- Elastic Cartilage
- much more flexible than hyaline cartilage and tolerates repeated bending better w/ more elastic fibers (cartilages of external ear and the epiglottis)
- loose connective Tissue
- A loosely organized, easily distorted connective tissue that contains several fiber types, a varied population of cells, and a viscous ground substance. Also the packing materials of the body. Fill spaces between organs, cushion and stabilize specialized cells and support epithelia. Surround and support blood vessels and nerves, store lipids, provide route for the diffustion of materials
- Connective tissue
- tissue of mesodermal origin consisting of e.g. collagen fibroblasts and fatty cells
- plasma
- colorless watery fluid of blood and lymph containing no cells and in which erythrocytes and leukocytes and platelets are suspended
- Elastic connective tissue
- found in the attachments between bones of the spinal column; very rare but found in large arteries
- Hyaline cartilage
- thin collagen fibers. found in ends of bones (articular cartilage), attaching ribs to sternum (costal cartilage), nose, larynx, trachea and bronchi
- Reticular connective tissue
- provides the framework for some internal organs (spleen, liver, lymphatic organs; have collagen fibers
- Dense connective Tissue
- Connective tissue with large amounts of either collagen fibers (making them strong) or elastic fibers, or both. Dense tissues are typically strong (e.g. bone, cartilage, tendons, etc.)
- Platelets
- One of the formed elements present in our blood. They function in hemostasis (blood clot formation). They are cell fragments of large multinucleate cells (megakaryocytes) formed in the bone marrow. They appear to be irregular, darkly stained shapes. They are instrumental in the clotting process that occurs when blood vessels are ruptures.
- wandering cells
- Appear in tissues temporarily in responses to injury or infection.
