Connective TissueThe most abundant type of tissue!
Collagen is a major protein found in connective tissueAlso the most common protein found in the body
Functions:Provides protectionBinds body tissues togetherSupports the body

Vascularity – blood supplyVariations in blood supply
Some are well vascularizedSome have a poor blood supply or are
avascular; Examples include: tendons, ligaments
As a result, these take longer to heal

The Extracellular Matrix (ECM)a unique and distinguishing characteristic
of connective tissue
Nonliving material that surrounds living cellsGelatinous-like materialSecreted by the connective tissue cells
Composed of two main components:Ground SubstanceFibers

Ground Substance Secreted by connective tissue
cells Similar to cytosol in composition and
function
Composed of: mostly water adhesion proteins polysaccharides
FibersSecreted by connective tissue cells
Three types:1.Collagen (white) fibers
Allow CT to withstand pulling/tension
2.Elastic (yellow) fibers Contain elastin- allows stretching
3.Reticular fibers (a type of collagen) Short fibers that create a mesh-like network
Connective Tissue TypesFrom most rigid to softest, (or most fluid):
BoneCartilageDense connective tissueLoose connective tissueBlood

BONEKnown as osseous tissueProduced by Osteocytes (bone cells)A Hard matrix of calcium saltsFunctions to protect and support the body

BONE
CARTILAGEmore flexible than bone
Found in only a few places in the bodyProduced by Chondrocytes (cartilage cell)Three types of cartilage:
Hyaline (most abundant; larynx, intercostal, bone ends)
Elastic (external ear and epiglottis)Fibrocartilage (intervertebral discs; pubic
symphysis)

DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUEStrong, ropelike structuresMain matrix element is collagen fiber made
by fibroblastsLocations:
Tendons—attach skeletal muscle to bone Ligaments—attach bone to bone at Dermis—lower layer of the skin
Found where strength of interconnection is required

DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE: Ligament And Tendon
LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUEsofter tissues; less fibrousprovide cushioning, reduce friction, allow
stretchingThree types:
Areolar: wraps and secures organs Lamina propria: areolar layer that underlies all
mucous membranesAdipose: fat cells; energy storage; insulationReticular: provides structural framework for
organs/glands

surrounded by fluid matrix known as blood plasma
Soluble fibers are visible only during clottingFunction: transport vehicle for the CV system;
delivers: Nutrients Wastes Respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide)
