. Act as a reservoir of energy.

Study These Flashcards
A

ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE

23
It gives shape to the limbs and body.
ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
24
It protects the underlying organ from injury.
ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
25
It is present in subcutaneous layers deep in the skin, around the heart and kidneys.
ADIPOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
26
It contains reticular fibers and reticular cells.
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
27
* It binds together smooth muscle tissue cells, filters and removes microbes in the lymph nodes.
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
28
It is present in the supporting framework of liver, spleen, lymph nodes, red bone marrow and it is also found around blood vessels and muscles.
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
29
- fibers are densely packed. -The fiber content is higher. -Cell content is lower as compared to loose connective tissue.
DENSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
30
This consists of closely packed bundles of collagen fibers running in the same direction. These collagen fibers are slightly wavy and can stretch a little bit.
DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
30
Fibroblasts appear in rows between fibers.
DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
30
It provides a strong attachment to structure.
DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
30
It is tough in nature.
DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
31
It forms tendons (attach muscle bone) and ligaments(attach bone to bone).
DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
32
It contains collagen fibers which are irregularly arranged and a few fibroblasts appear in rows between the fibers.
DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
33
It is present in the dermis layer of skin, membrane capsules around kidneys, liver, testes and lymph nodes, heart valves.
DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
33
It consists of freely branching elastic fibers. Fibroblasts are present in space between fibers. It is yellowish in colour.
ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE
33
It provides strength to different organs.
DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
34
It is present in tissues, walls of elastic arteries, trachea, bronchial tubes and vocal cords.
ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE
34
Store energy in the form of fat, provide insulation, and cushion organs
Adipocytes
34
Build and maintain the extracellular matrix by producing collagen, elastin, and ground substance.
Fibroblasts
35
It allows stretching of various organs.
ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE
36
"Big eaters" that engulf and digest bacteria, dead cells, and harmful substances (immune defense).
Macrophages
37
Release histamine during allergic reactions to help fight infections but can cause inflammation.
Mast Cells-
38
Produce antibodies to help fight infections (immune response).
Plasma Cells-
39
Defend the body against infections and help with immune responses.
Leukocytes (White Blood Cells) -
40
Maintain cartilage by producing and sustaining the extracellular matrix.
Chondrocytes-
41
Maintain bone tissue by regulating bone remodeling and mineral storage.
Osteocytes-
42
Act as stem cells that can develop into other connective tissue cells when needed.
Mesenchymal Cells-
43
are specialized fibroblast-like cells found in reticular connective tissue.
Reticular cells-
