functions of the connective tissues

• connecting tissues as tendons and ligaments.

  supporting moving

• enclosing and separating around organs

  transporting blood and storing fat

• cover the inside of the body

• protecting cells of the immune system

• provide heat to the body

characteristics of connective tissue

• diverse making it abundant

  (inside the body)

• diverse making it abundant

  (outside of the body

• variations in blood supply

• cells separated by extracellular matrix

• cells together without separation

3 components of connective tissue

• 1) cells

  2) tissue

  3) extracellular matrix

• 1) non-specialized cells produce matrix

  2)extracellular matrix contains carbohydrates

  3) ground fat

• 1) specialized cells produce the matrix

  2) extracellular matrix contains protein fibers

  3) ground substance

• 1) collagen

  2) biotin

  3) wax

components of connective tissue: specialized cells produce the matrix

• -blast: create the matrix

• -clast: maintain the matrix

• -cytes: maintain the matrix

• -clast: destroy the matrix

• -cytes: create the matrix

components of connective tissue: extracellular matrix contains protein fibers

• collagen: strength

• elastic: elasticity

• biotin: no fat

• Reticular fibers: support

• b12: strength

Extracellular matrix???

• an area with cellular substances that non-fill in the space between cells

• an area with non-cellular substances that fill in the space between cells

• a bag for cells

• a type of liquid that transports cells

components of connective tissue: Ground substance:

• loose arrangement slows pathogens

• composed of fat, sugars and carbohydrates

• dense arrangement slows pathogens

• composed of water, proteins and sugars

• acts like glue for cells to attach matrix fibers
