- areolar
- riticular
- adipose

- regular
2. irregular
what are the 3 types of cartilage
- hyaline
- elastic
- fibrocartilage
what is the universal packing material between other tissues? it also supports and binds other tissues
areolar tissue
what is the main difference between adipose and areloar tissue
adipose tissue has greater nutrient storage
where is adipose tissue
eyeballs, boobs, around kidneys, abdomen
white fat does what?
absorbs shock, insulates and energy storage
brown fat deals with?
heats bloodstream to prevent production of ATP
fibroblasts are called ?
reticular cells
where is reticular tissue found?
lymphatic organs– lynph nodes, red bone marrow, spleen

in tendons and ligaments
t/f: Dense regular can’t withstand tensile stress
false
where are dense irregluar CT found?
fibrous capsules of organs and joints
dermis of skin
what ct resists tension from any direction?
dense irregular tissue
when you think of return to normal shape and size think of blank CT?
elsatic CT
where is elastic ct found?
in the back
function and location of hyaline cartilage
end of long bones, nose, trachea
resists compressive stress
function and location of elastic cartilage
external ear
maintains structure while allowing flexibility
function and location of fibrocartilage
absorb shock
in back and disc of knee
