Flashcards

Connective Tissue Abundance

Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body by weight, even though epithelium is often more noticeable.

Connective Tissue Origin

Connective tissue originates from the somites during fetal development.

Connective Tissue Functions

Connective tissue supports, attaches, packs, insulates, stores, transports, repairs, and defends the body

Connective Tissue Matrix

Connective tissue matrix mostly consists of intercellular substance and fibers; it's the non-cellular component.

Study Notes

Connective Tissue Properties

Connective tissue is the most abundant tissue in the body, by weight, even though epithelium is often more visible.
Connective tissue originates from somites during prenatal development.
Connective tissues have diverse functions including support, attachment, packing, insulation, storage, transport, repair, and defense.

Connective Tissue Histology

Compared to epithelial tissue, connective tissue has fewer cells, which are spaced further apart.
Connective tissue contains more extracellular matrix than cells.
The extracellular matrix consists of intercellular substance and fibers.
Most connective tissue is renewable because cells can undergo mitosis and create their own matrix.
Connective tissue is usually vascularized, meaning it has its own blood supply (except for cartilage).
