Connective Tissue
The most abundant and widely diverse of all the basic tissue types
Connective Tissue
Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including:

Connective Tissue
Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including:
- Binding tissue together
- Support and strengthens other tissues
- Protects and insulates internal organs

- Protects and insulates internal organs
- Compartmentalizes structures
- Transport system for blood
- Stores energy (fat or adipose tissue)
- Immune system responses
Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their
tissues including:
Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including:
- Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels
Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including:
- Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels
- Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix
Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including:
- Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels
- Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix
- Plasma cells – secrete antibodies

- Adipocytes – fat cells that store triglycerides
- White blood cells (leukocytes) – migrate from the blood into the connective tissue during immune responses
Connective tissue is involved with the immune response

Human fibroblast cells - these cells contain numerous different types of proteins which can be visualized with different stains
Macrophages – Macrophages can consume objects through the process of phagocytosis many times their own size
Phagocytosis of red blood cells
White Blood Cells!
Real white bloodcells also knownAs “leukocytes”
Red blood cells, aka“erythrocytes”
Adipose Connective Tissue
Connective tissues contain a variety of fiber types
