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.
