Study Notes
Classification of Connective Tissue
- Connective tissue that includes bone and cartilage is classified as supporting connective tissue.
Functions of Connective Tissue
- The primary function of connective tissue is to provide support, structure, and connectivity between other tissue types.
Connective Tissue Fibers
- Elastic fibers provide flexibility and resilience to tissues.
Distribution of Loose Connective Tissue
- Loose connective tissue is commonly found in the body underneath epithelial tissue, surrounding blood vessels, and in the nervous tissue.
Functions of Brown Adipose Tissue
- The main function of brown adipose tissue is to generate heat in cold stress and to regulate body temperature.
Embryonic Connective Tissue
- The two subtypes of embryonic connective tissue are mucoid and mesenchyme.
Characteristics of Dense Regular Connective Tissue
- Dense regular connective tissue is characterized by densely packed collagen fibers and fibroblast cells.
Classifications of Connective Tissue
- The three major classifications of connective tissue are connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue, and embryonic connective tissue.
Distribution of Reticular Connective Tissue
- Reticular connective tissue is commonly found in the body in lymphoid organs such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow.
Functions of Connective Tissue
- The functions of connective tissue include providing support, structure, and connectivity between other tissue types, protecting organs, storing energy, and regulating body temperature.
