Binds, supports, and strengthens body tissues; protects organs, compartmentalizes structures, transports materials, and stores energy; site of immune responses.

The non-living material that surrounds connective tissue cells, composed of protein fibers and ground substance.

The part of the matrix that fills the spaces between cells and fibers; secreted by cells, determining tissue quality.

Connective tissue cells that secrete fibers and ground substance.

Strong, flexible fibers in connective tissue, resisting pulling forces; made of collagen protein.

Smaller, branching fibers that allow for elasticity (stretching and recoiling) in connective tissue; made of elastin protein.

Inherited disorder causing abnormal development of elastic fibers, leading to tall stature, long limbs, vision problems, and weakened aorta.

Cells that develop from white blood cells, engulfing and destroying cellular debris by phagocytosis.

Connective tissue with loosely intertwined fibers and abundant cells, providing support and flexibility.

The most widespread loose connective tissue, containing various cells and all fiber types, providing support and flexibility.

Specialized loose connective tissue that stores triglycerides for insulation, protection, and energy reserve.

Loose connective tissue with a network of reticular fibers and cells, providing framework for organs and filtering blood.

Connective tissue with densely packed fibers, providing strength and resistance to tension.

Dense connective tissue with parallel bundles of collagen fibers, providing strength in one direction.

Dense connective tissue with randomly arranged collagen fibers, providing strength in multiple directions.

Dense connective tissue with branching elastic fibers, providing elasticity and ability to stretch and recoil.

Mature cartilage cells are called chondrocytes, which reside in spaces within the cartilage matrix called lacunae.

There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage, each with distinct properties and locations in the body.

Hyaline cartilage is the most common type and plays vital roles in cushioning joints, supporting the trachea and nose, and forming the growth plates of long bones.

Fibrocartilage is the strongest type of cartilage and is found in the intervertebral discs, where it provides support and shock absorption between vertebrae.

Elastic cartilage is the most flexible type, maintaining the shape of structures like the ear and epiglottis while providing elasticity.

The basic unit of compact bone is called an osteon, which consists of concentric rings of matrix (lamellae) surrounding a central canal containing blood vessels and nerves.

Spongy bone is characterized by a network of bony struts called trabeculae, which create spaces filled with red bone marrow.

Blood tissue is composed of red blood cells (erythrocytes) for oxygen transport, white blood cells (leukocytes) for immune defense, and platelets for blood clotting.
