27
Connective Tissue
- Composed primarily of fibroblasts
- Low amount of collagenous fibers
Loose Connective TIssue
28
Connective Tissue
- Fat
- Specialized Cells that Store Fat
- Continue to Enlarge to Store Fat
Adipose Tissue
29
Connective Tissue
- Think Collagen Fibers
- Support Organs (liver, spleen)
Reticular Tissue
30
Connective Tissue
- Holds Parts Together
- Tendons, Ligaments
- Lots of Collagenous Fibers
Dense Connective Fibers
31
Connective Tissue
- Elastic Fibers
- Found in Large Arteries and Ligaments of the Spinal Column
Elastic Connective Tissue
32
Connective Tissue
- Rigid
- Composed Primarily of Collagen Fibers
- Cells Live in Lacunae
- Lacks Direct Blood Supply
- Covered by Perichondrium
Cartilage
33
Cartilage
- Most abundant
- Hard white plastic
- Covers ends of bones
- Very Smooth
Hyaline
34
Cartilage
- Flexible
- Contains many elastic fibers
- External ears
Elastic
35
Cartilage
- Toughest
- Shock absorber
- Intervertebral disks, menisci, labrum of hip/shoulder
Fibrocartilage
