Study Notes
Connective Tissue
- One of the four basic types of animal tissue
- Consists of three main components: fibers, ground substance, and cells
Cells of Connective Tissue
- Include fibroblasts, adipocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and leucocytes
Connective Tissue Proper
- Divided into two categories: loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue
- Loose connective tissue includes:
- Areolar tissue
- Reticular tissue
- Adipose tissue
- Dense connective tissue includes:
- Dense regular connective tissue
- Dense irregular connective tissue
Types of Connective Tissue
- Loose (Areolar) connective tissue:
- Found in skin
- Reticular connective tissue:
- Found in lymphoid organs
- Adipose connective tissue:
- Found in skin
- Dense regular connective tissue:
- Found in tendons
- Dense irregular connective tissue:
- Found in dermis
Special Connective Tissue
- Consists of:
- Reticular connective tissue
- Adipose tissue
- Cartilage
- Bone
- Blood
- Cartilage:
