Study Notes

Loose Connective Tissue

  • Composed of extracellular fibers that provide support and flexibility.
  • Found beneath the skin and surrounding organs, facilitating nutrient exchange and structural integrity.

Dense Connective Tissue

  • Characterized by a high concentration of collagen fibers, offering strength and resistance to stretching.
  • Typically located in tendons and ligaments, where stability and durability are essential.

Bone

  • Main cellular component is the osteocyte, a type of bone cell responsible for maintaining bone health.
  • Bone tissue is essential for structural support, protection of vital organs, and mineral storage.

Blood

  • Consists of plasma, the liquid matrix that transports cells, nutrients, and waste products throughout the body.
  • Plays a crucial role in immune response and regulation of body temperature.

Adipose Tissue

  • Contains fibroblasts, which are key in forming the extracellular matrix and in storage of fat.
  • Acts as an energy reserve and helps insulate the body, maintaining temperature.
