Hyperlink – tissues/bone/blood/cartilage/connective tissue proper

bone

Adipose

Supports body structures

made of a hard, calcified matrix with collagen fibers in them

stores calcium, minerals and fat

vascularized

Hyperlink –blood/cartilage/connective tissue proper

Does not connect to anything

does not give mechanical support

Hyperlink – bone/cartilage/connective tissue proper

tough yet flexible 80 percent water has collagen fibers

and sometimes elastic fibers

Hyperlink –bone/blood/connective tissue proper/Hyaline cartilage/Elastic cartilage/Fibro-cartilage

most abundant cartilage throughout the body

Contains collagen fibers

Hyperlink – Cartilage/Hyaline cartilage/Elastic cartilage/Fibro-cartilage

identical to Hyaline cartilage but has much more elastin fibers

Hyperlink – Cartilage/Hyaline cartilage/Fibro-cartilage

mix of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissues

Hyperlink – Cartilage/Hyaline cartilage/Elastic cartilage

two categories ◦ loose connective

tissue and dense connective tissue

Hyperlink – tissues/bone/blood/cartilage/connective tissue proper/loose connective tissue/dense connective tissue

Not compact

similar to areolar tissue in structure and in its ability to store nutrients

Fats deposits serve needs of organs

Hyperlink – connective tissue proper/Areolar connective tissue/reticular connective tissue

Loose, ground substance with reticular fibers

Lie in a fiber network

Forms a soft internal cluster that supports other cell types

Hyperlink – connective tissue proper/Areolar connective tissue/adipose

fibers closely compact into one area

Hyperlink – Loose Connective tissue/Dense Regular/Elastic/Dense Irregular

parallel collagen fibers with a few elastin fibers

Major cell type is the fibroblast

Attaches muscles to bones, muscle to muscle, and bone to bone

withstand tensile stress in one direction

Hyperlink – Loose Connective tissue/Elastic/Dense Irregular

Similar to dense regular connective tissue but more stretchy because it has more elastic fibers in it

can be found in some ligaments

Hyperlink – Loose Connective tissue/Dense Regular/Dense Irregular

Irregularly shaped collagen fibers with some elastic fibers

Able to withstand tension from all directions

Provides structural strength

Hyperlink – Loose Connective tissue/Dense Regular/Elastic

Branched neurons with long cellular process and support cells

Transmits electrical impulses from sensory receptors to effectors

Hyperlinks - tissues

Highly cellular and well vascularized

Responsible for most types of body movement

Possess myofilaments that makes contractions happen

Three kinds ◦ cardiac, smooth, and

skeletal
