Connective Tissue (CT)
Characteristics
1. CT is most varied tissue in make-up, location, and function
2. Lots of intracellular space= (matrix)
3. Matrix contains fibers and ground substance
4. Usually vascular
5. Made from mesenchyme- embryonic CT

Functions of CT
1. Establishes structural framework
2. Transport substances
3. Protection of organs
4. Supporting, surrounding, and interconnecting other tissue types
5. Storing energy reserves
6. Defending body from invading microbes

Types of CT
1. CT proper- ex. fat, tendons - divided into 2 types based on proportions of cells, fibers, ground substance
a. Loose
b. Dense
2. Fluid CT- ex. blood, lymph
3. Supporting CT- ex. Cartilage, osseous

Cells of CT
ALWAYS ( in CT proper)1. Fibroblasts- make ground substanceMAYBE• Macrophages- large amoeboid, engulf pathogens• Chondrocytes- cartilage cells• Adipocytes- fat cells• Erythrocytes- RBC• Mesenchymal- stem cells, respond to local injury by
making more cells• Mast cells-stimulate local inflammation after injuryMany others

Fibers of CT
1. Collagen- strongest, long, straight, unbranched, like rope, make up ligaments and tendons
2. Reticular- same fibers as collagen, web-like, support
3. 3. Elastic- branched, wavy, stretch and return to original length, connect vertebrae

CT proper1. Loose CT- “packing material”,
a. Areolar –separates skin from deeper tissues

CT proper1. Loose CT- “packing material”,
b. Adipose – store energy, insulate, protect (padding)

CT proper1. Loose CT- “packing material”,
c. Reticular- interlacing fibers create stroma(3-D network), inside organs of liver and spleen

CT proper2. Dense CT-”fibrous tissue”
a. Regular- collagen fibers run parallel
ex. Tendons

CT proper2. Dense CT-”fibrous tissue”
b. Irregular- collagen fibers interwoven in no pattern
ex. Nerve and muscle sheaths

3. Osseous Tissue/Bone
A. Matrix is solid, made of
1. collagen fibers
2. calcium salts
B. Cells are osteocytes, located in nests called “lacunae”
C. Covered with periosteum- has fibrous layer for attachment, and cellular layer for repair

Spongy Bone
• Made of trabeculae• Contain lacunae and osteocytes
