Connective Tissues
• Functions: Bind structures together, support, transport, protection
Connective Tissues
• Functions: Bind structures together, support, transport, protection
• Contains few cells and an abundant intercellular matrix (Matrix = space between cells)
• The matrix is filled with fibers that are produced by the cells, including collagen fibers and elastic fibers
Types of connective tissue1. Loose (areolar): packing material.
Attaches skin to underlying tissues. Fills the spaces between muscles.

2. Adipose tissue: Fat. Provides energy storage, cushioning around organs, and insulation

3. Dense fibrous: Forms tendons (connect muscle to bone) and ligaments (connect bones to each other)

4. Elastic: Can stretch and then return to normal length. Vocal cords, ligaments between vertebrae
Types of connective tissue5. Cartilage: Contains protein chondrin,
which is stiff but flexible

a. Hyaline cartilage: Found at end of long bones, where ribs attach to sternum, rings of trachea, fetal skeleton

b. Fibrocartilage: strong shock absorber. Found in pads between vertebrae and in the knee

a. Hyaline cartilage: Found at end of long bones, where ribs attach to sternum, rings of trachea, fetal skeleton
b. Fibrocartilage: strong shock absorber. Found in pads between vertebrae and in the knee
c. Elastic cartilage: more flexible. Found in external ear, epiglottis
Types of connective tissue6. Bone: Most rigid connective tissue. Fibers
are surrounded by calcium salts. Provides framework for body.

7. Blood: Red and white blood cells are suspended in a liquid matrix (plasma). Transports oxygen and nutrients
