Fibrocartilage (FUNCTION)

Cushion & Support

Osseous Tissue (FUNCTION)

Support, protection, storage, and hemotopoeisis

Dense Regular Connective Tissue (FUNCTION)

Tendons and ligaments

Lacunae

house chondrocytes in cartilage

Elastic Connective Tissue (FUNCTION)

Allows stretching of some organs

Vascular

Blood supply

Vascular Tissue (LOCATION)

Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries)

Osseous Tissue (LOCATION)

Bones

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

Dermis of skin

Hyaline Cartilage (LOCATION)

End of long bones, ribs, and nose

Adipose Connective Tissue (FUNCTION)

Energy storage, Cushion, & insulation

Elastic Cartilage (LOCATION)

Epiglottis & external ear

Reticular Connective Tissue (FUNCTION)

Filtration & hematopoeisis

Hyaline Cartilage (FUNCTION)

Flexibility, support, and reduces friction

Vascular Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Fluid matrix (plasma) containing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Fibers are only present during injury.

Areolar Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

Forms "Lamina Propria" (the base under all epithelial tissues)

Adipose Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

Found in hypodermis of skin & around body organs.

Osseous Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Hard matrix composed of collagen fibers (flexability) and calcium (strength) arranged into circular units called OSTENS. Tissue is arranged in rings called lamella surrounding a central canal. Cells are OSTEOCYTES located in LACUNEA. Connected by tiny cracks called CALALICULI.

Elastic Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

Lungs & Aorta

Fibrocartilage (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix composed of bundles of collagen fibers

Dense Irregular Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix composed of collagen and elastic fibers running in different directions. (Cells are fibroblasts. Highly Vascular)

Elastic Cartilage (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix composed of threadlike elastic fibers, cells are chondrocytes housed on pockets called lacunae

Dense Regular Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix composed of tightly packed collagen fibers running in the same direction. (cells are fibroblasts & poor blood supply)

Adipose Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix consists of areolar CT with a large number of adipocytes (fat cells). (( Contains a vacule w/ Triglyceride))

Elastic Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Matrix consists of sheets of elastic fibers. Cells are fibroblasts.

Hyaline Cartilage (DESCRIPTION)

Most common, matrix has a uniform glossy appearance with no visible fibers. cells are chondrocytes housed in pockets called lacunae.

Elastic Cartilage (FUNCTION)

Provides support and maintains support

Fibrocartilage (LOCATION)

Pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, meniscus of knee

Reticular Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

Red bone marrow, forms stoma of spleen & lymphnodes

Areolar Connective Tissue (FUNCTION)

Soaks up excess fluid

Areolar Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

Soft, pliable tissue that contains all fiber types (Elastic, reticular, and collagen) *Most widely distributed CT in body.

Vascular Tissue (FUNCTION)

Transport and immune response

Reticular Connective Tissue (DESCRIPTION)

delicate network of interwoven reticular fibers, white blood cells & reticulocytes.

Reticular Connective Tissue (LOCATION)

red bone marrow, forms stoma of spleen, and lymphnodes
