Q

types of adult CT

A

Loose,
dens(reg/ireg),
reticular,
adipose(brown/whote)

2
Q

-Loose:

A

most widely distributed
oc: around blood vessels and nerves, bw muscles bundles,
func: support, damping, tissure repare and defence
Free and fixed cells dominates, collagen, elastic and reticular fibres and ground substance

3
Q

-Dense irregular:

A

Collagen fibres, are dominantBundles crossing at varying angles. fibroblasts and fibrocytes dominate cell types
oc: aponeuroses, muscular fascia, dermis and organ capsules

4
Q

-Dense regular:

A

Collagen fibres arranged in same plane and direction.

Oc: collagen tendons and elastic ligaments

5
Q

-Reticular:

A

composed of stellate reticular cells and 3D-network of reticular fibres.
forms stroma of lymphatic organs

6
Q

-White adipose:

A

composed ofUnilocular adipocytes, collagen and reticular fibres.
func: provide insulation, dampening, store energy and hormone production

7
Q

-Brown adipose:

A

composed of Multilocular adipocytes, collagen and reticular fibres.

func: provides non-shivering thermogenesis
oc: newborns rodets and hibernating animals
