3. Connective Tissues
Functions: Bind structures together, support, transport, protection

4. Connective Tissues
Functions: Bind structures together, support, transport, protection
Contains few cells and an abundant intercellular matrix (Matrix = space between cells)
The matrix is filled with fibers that are produced by the cells, including collagen fibers and elastic fibers

5. Types of connective tissue
Loose (areolar): packing material. Attaches skin to underlying tissues. Fills the spaces between muscles.

Adipose tissue: Fat. Provides energy storage, cushioning around organs, and insulation

Adipose tissue: Fat. Provides energy storage, cushioning around organs, and insulation
Dense fibrous (collagenous): Forms tendons (connect muscle to bone) and ligaments (connect bones to each other)

Adipose tissue: energy storage and cushioning
Dense fibrous: Forms tendons (connect muscle to bone) and ligaments (connect bones to each other)
Elastic: Can stretch and then return to normal length. Vocal cords, ligaments between vertebrae

9. Types of connective tissue
5. Cartilage: Contains protein chondrin, which is stiff but flexible

10. Types of connective tissue
5. Cartilage: Contains protein chondrin, which is stiff but flexible
a. Hyaline cartilage: Found at end of long bones, where ribs attach to sternum, rings of trachea, fetal skeleton

11. Types of connective tissue
5. Cartilage: Contains protein chondrin, which is stiff but flexible
a. Hyaline cartilage: Found at end of long bones, where ribs attach to sternum, rings of trachea, fetal skeleton
b. Fibrocartilage: strong shock absorber. Found in pads between vertebrae and in the knee

5. Cartilage: Contains protein chondrin, which is stiff but flexible
a. Hyaline cartilage: Found at end of long bones, where ribs attach to sternum, rings of trachea, fetal skeleton
b. Fibrocartilage: strong shock absorber. Found in pads between vertebrae and in the knee
c. Elastic cartilage: more flexible. Found in external ear, epiglottis

13. Types of connective tissue
6. Bone: Most rigid connective tissue. Fibers are surrounded by calcium salts. Provides framework for body.

14. Types of connective tissue
6. Bone: Most rigid connective tissue. Fibers are surrounded by calcium salts. Provides framework for body.
7. Blood: Red and white blood cells are suspended in a liquid matrix (plasma). Transports oxygen and nutrients
