Study Notes
Cartilage and Connective Tissues
- Elastic cartilage forms the framework of the outer ear, allowing for flexibility and shape retention.
- Adipose tissue functions as a heat insulator beneath the skin, providing thermal regulation and energy storage.
- Hyaline cartilage contributes to the flexible structure of the nasal septum, supporting the nasal passages.
Blood and Bone
- Blood consists of large amounts of fluid and lacks fibers, serving essential roles in transportation and immunity.
- Bone (compact) tissue features cells arranged around a central canal, providing structural support and housing for blood vessels.
- The bone matrix contains collagen fibers and mineral salts, contributing to its strength and rigidity.
Specialized Connective Tissues
- Areolar tissue binds the skin to underlying organs, providing support and facilitating nutrient exchange.
- Dense connective tissue is the main component of tendons and ligaments, providing strength and resisting tensile forces.
- Fibrocartilage serves as pads between vertebrae, acting as shock absorbers during movement and providing cushioning.
Additional Connective Tissue Types
- Adipose tissue also provides a stored energy supply in fat vacuoles, playing a role in metabolic regulation.
- Elastic connective tissue occurs in ligament attachments between vertebrae and artery walls, providing flexibility and resilience.
- Reticular connective tissue forms the supporting framework in the walls of the liver and spleen, aiding organ structure and function.
