2. Connective Tissue Slide 3.53 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Found everywhere in the body  Includes the most abundant and widely distributed tissues  Functions  Binds body tissues together  Supports the body  Provides protection

3. Connective Tissue Characteristics Slide 3.54 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Variations in blood supply  Some tissue types are well vascularized  Some have poor blood supply or are avascular  Extracellular matrix  Non-living material that surrounds living cells

4. Extracellular Matrix Slide 3.55 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Two main elements  Ground substance – mostly water along with adhesion proteins and polysaccharide molecules  Fibers  Produced by the cells  Three types  Collagen fibers  Elastic fibers  Reticular fibers

5. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.60 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Areolar connective tissue  Most widely distributed connective tissue  Soft, pliable tissue  Contains all fiber types  Can soak up excess fluid Figure 3.18e

7. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.56 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Bone (osseous tissue)  Composed of:  Bone cells in lacunae (cavities)  Hard matrix of calcium salts  Large numbers of collagen fibers  Used to protect and support the body Figure 3.18a

10. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.57 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Hyaline cartilage  Most common cartilage  Composed of:  Abundant collagen fibers  Rubbery matrix  Entire fetal skeleton is hyaline cartilage Figure 3.18b

11. Hyaline Cartilage

12. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.58a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Elastic cartilage  Provides elasticity  Example: supports the external ear

13. Elastic Cartilage

14. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.58b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Fibrocartilage  Highly compressible  Example: forms cushion-like discs between vertebrae Figure 3.18c

15. Fibrocartilage

16. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.59 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Dense connective tissue  Main matrix element is collagen fibers  Cells are fibroblasts  Examples  Tendon – attach muscle to bone  Ligaments – attach bone to bone Figure 3.18d

18. Two types of Dense Connective Tissue REGULARREGULAR Parallel bundles of collagen; packed tightly together Extremely strong & tough Avascular (why????) Found in tendons & ligaments for a strong rope-like connection Differentiate: tendon, ligament IRREGULARIRREGULAR Non-parallel bundles of collagen, arranged in a web like mesh Great strength Vascular (why????) Composes the dermis of the skin

19. Which is which: regular or irregular dense connective tissue?

20. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.61 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Adipose tissue  Matrix is an areolar tissue in which fat globules predominate  Many cells contain large lipid deposits  Functions  Insulates the body  Protects some organs  Serves as a site of fuel storage Figure 3.18f

21. Adipose tissue

22. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.62 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Reticular connective tissue  Delicate network of interwoven fibers  Forms stroma (internal supporting network) of lymphoid organs  Lymph nodes  Spleen  Bone marrow Figure 3.18g

23. Reticular

24. Connective Tissue Types Slide 3.63 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Blood  Blood cells surrounded by fluid matrix  Fibers are visible during clotting  Functions as the transport vehicle for materials Figure 3.18h

25. Blood

26. Describe symptoms/observations when you have A deep cut A twisted knee

27. Body’s response to tissue injury 1.Inflammatory response (non-specific) 1.Increased blood/tissue fluid flow to injury site (edema) 2.Redness (rubor) 3.Warmth (calor) 4.Pain (dolor)

28. 2.Immune response 1.Immune cells attack foreign invaders—bacteria, viruses, toxins

29. Regeneration of Tissues Slide 3.71 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Tissues that regenerate easily  Epithelial tissue  Fibrous connective tissue and bone  Tissues that regenerate poorly  Skeletal muscle  Tissues that are replaced largely with scar tissue  Cardiac muscle  Nervous tissue within the brain and spinal cord
