2. Structural peculiarities 1. Intercellular substance well developed 2. Different cells (principal, … and temporary) 3. Vessels Functions 1.Trophic 2.Protective (mechanical, immune) 3.Supportive 4.Plastic (adaptation, regeneration) 5.Morphogenetic (capsules, trabecules, regulation…)

3. Classification Proper connective tissues 1.Fibrous CT: 1. Loose 2. Dense ( regular, irregular ) 2.Special: 1. Adipose 2. Reticular 3. Mucous 4. Pigmental Skeletal connective tissues 1.Cartilages (hyaline, elastic, fibrous) 2.Bones: 1. Fibrous 2. Lamellar: compact and spongy)

5. Loose connective tissue

7. GROUPS OF CELLS A. Differon – obligatory cells 1. Stem cell 2. Hemistem cell 3. Fibroblasts immature and mature 4. Fibrocyte, myofibroblast, fibroclast B. Unobligatory cells - histiocytes, basophils, plasma cells, lymphocytes, adipocytes C. Temporary cells - neutrophils, eosinophils…

23. Types of adipocytes

24. White and brown adipose tissue

25. Brown adipocyte Nerve ending nucleus liposome mitochondria GA

26. Reticular tissue ( reticular cells, reticular fibers ) in hematopoietic organs

27. Embryonal Connective Tissue—Gelatinous or Mucous Tissue 1e 2m5y 6al 4a 3v

28. . Wharton’s jelly from a mature human umbilical cord contains connective tissue cells (fibroblasts, fibrocytes) and a homogeneous gelatinous or gel-like ground substance, which holds the collagen fibers which run in all directions. The prevailing ground substances predominantly contains nonsulfatized glycosaminoglycans

29. Pigmental tissue melanocyte (melanin producing cell)

30. Melanogenesis 1.Tyrosinase is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum 2. Tyrosinase is accumulated in vesicles of the Golgi complex 3. The free vesicles are now called melanosomes. 4. Melanin synthesis begins in the stage II melanosomes, where melanin is accumulated 5. Stage III melanosomes. 6. III melanosome loses its tyrosinase activity and becomes a melanin granule. 7. Melanin granules migrate to the tips of the melanocyte’s processes and are then transferred to the keratinocytes of the malpighian layer.
