Study Notes

Functions of Connective Tissue

Encloses and separates organs via connective tissue sheets, creating capsules around structures like the liver and kidneys.
Connects different tissues, exemplified by tendons attaching muscles to bones and ligaments linking bones together.
Provides support and movement through the skeletal system, where bones offer rigidity and cartilage supports softer structures such as the ears and joints.
Stores energy in adipose tissue and essential minerals like calcium and phosphate in bones.
Cushions and protects surrounding tissues; adipose tissue acts as a shock absorber and insulator beneath the skin.
Transports vital substances in blood, including gases, nutrients, hormones, and immune cells.
Protects the body through immune system cells, blood components, and bony structures that shield organs from injury and pathogens.
