Types Of Connective Tissue

• Tissues are made up of a Matrix of Cells varying
  in differing amounts depending on the tissue
• Loose, Ordinary, Areolar Tissue
• Adipose Tissue
• Reticular Tissue
• Dense Fibrous Tissue
• Bone Tissue
• Cartilage Tissue
• Blood Tissue
• Muscle Tissue
• Nervous Tissue

Fibroblasts
Fibroblasts (Builder) Connective cells that
synthesize fibers and gels them together.

Macrophages (Eater) are large Phagocyte cells.
Are parts of the bodies vital defense mechanisms.

Loose Elastic
Ordinary -Everywhere
Areolar Small Space (bubbles)
Matrix-like connects everything together

2. Adipose Tissue
Born with these Adipocytes (Fat Cells) They
stretch as we fill them! We cannot control how
many we have only how large they stretch!

Each pound of Fat 2/3rd of a mile of more blood
vessels we need!

3. Reticular

• Delicate Structures
• Defends against Injurious substances
• Makes new Reticular fibers

Tendon
4. Dense Fibrous
Tendons contain bundles of Collagenous fibers
which give Tendons it strength and Rigidity

4. Dense Fibrous
Ligament
Ligaments are predominately Elastic Fibers which
give Ligaments some degree of Elasticity

Erythrocytes 99 (Red Blood Cells) -contain
Hemoglobin which is principal carrier of oxygen
44
7. Blood
Hemoglobin, the main constituent of a red blood
cell. The (blue disk) that contains iron. The
four hemes allow loose bonding of O2 to the iron,
which is carried in the blood. The hemes also
can carry CO2 for removal during lung exhalation.
