1. Connective tissue Major types of connective tissue: Areolar Adipose Fibrous connective Bone Cartilage Blood Hemopoietic

2. Areolar tissue most widely distributed, gives form to organs, consists of webs of fibers

3. Blood tissue matrix is liquid, used in transport, protection

4. Blood smear

5. Bone matrix is hard and calcified, circular arrangement of cells called osteons, storage for calcium, provides support and protection

6. Dense fibrous tissue consists of bundles of strong collagen fibers, composes tendons, anchors muscles to bones

7. Cartilage tissues matrix is consistency of firm plastic, cells called chondrocytes

8. Adipose tissue fat tissue, store lipids

9. Hemopoietic Tissue found in red marrow cavities of bones, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes involved in formation of blood cells

10. Muscle tissue 3 kinds: skeletal, cardiac and smooth

11. Skeletal muscle tissue “Striated”, voluntary, attaches to bone

12. Cardiac Muscle tissue Involuntary, intercalated disks, walls of heart

13. Smooth muscle (Visceral) involuntary, walls of blood vessels and hollow organs

14. Nervous tissue - communication Composed of cell body, axon and dendrites

15. Nervous tissue
