Connective Tissue Characteristics of connective tissues • Extracellular matrix separates cells • Most widely variable of tissues • Many varied functions • Common (mesenchyme) origin • Degrees of vascularity Functions • Binding • Suport • Protection • Insulation • Transport Structural Elements • Fibers ⁃ Collagen (white) fibres ⁃ Elastin (yellow) fibers ⁃ Reticular fibers • Ground substance ⁃ Amorphous material fills space between cells and contains fibers

Connective Tissue As the name implies‚ connective tissue serves a "connecting" function. It supports and binds other tissues. Unlike epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix. Loose Connective Tissue In vertebrates‚ the most common type of connective tissue is loose connective tissue. It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. Loose connective tissue is named based on the "weave" and type

Background: Connective tissue nevi (CTN) are hamartomas in which components of the dermis (collagen‚ elastin‚ or glycosaminoglycans) are altered. Appear as firm‚ asymptomatic‚ skin-colored plaques composed of closely grouped papules with an orange peel-like surface texture. Previous classifications made based on which dermal component was found in excess‚ genetic patterns of inheritance‚ and +/- organ involvement fail to explain all reported cases. o Example: Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome

Notes on histology Histology Lecture 1 Histology is the study of tissues: in our case‚ it means study of tissues which make up the human body. Tissue is defined as a group of cells which perform a common function. All the cells in a given tissue are not necessarily identical or similar e.g. blood is a type of connective tissue but it has many different types of cells. However‚ tissue also contains two other components i.e. ground substance (or matrix) and fibres. Despite the complexity of

Comino LAB REPORT 4 CONNECTIVE TISSUE (SPECIALIZED) I. Abstract In this experiment‚ identification and classification of different types of connective tissue was performed. Also‚ cells and extracellular matrix was to be identified in them. For this‚ different already prepared slides were chosen and observed under the microscope to then identify the different parts. II. Introduction Apart from the bone and cartilage‚ the rest of the specialized connective tissues are divided into 4:

Unlike epithelial which has cells that are closely packed together‚ connective tissue typically has cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix of fibrous proteins and glycoproteins attached to a basement membrane.

Compare and contrast xylem tissue and phloem tissue‚ including their respective structures and functions. The stems and roots of plants contain two separate transport systems; xylem vessels and phloem tubes‚ of which neither transport oxygen as it is transported to cells by diffusion. The network of xylem vessels transports water and mineral ions from the roots to all other parts of the plant whereas phloem tubes transport food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. In the stems

Epithelial tissue protects your body from moisture loss‚ bacteria‚ and internal injury. There are two kinds of epithelial tissues: Covering and lining epithelium covers or lines almost all of your internal and external body surfaces; for example‚ the outermost layer of your skin and other organs‚ and the internal surface lining of your lymph vessels and digestive tract. Glandular epithelium secretes hormones or other products such as stomach acid‚ sweat‚ saliva‚ and milk. Connective tissue generally

For each section‚ read the background and answer any questions before you come to class‚ then in class sketch the specimens listed under each sketch circle. For your sketches‚ include the total magnification under which you viewed the specimen and be very detailed in your sketch. Epithelial Tissue Background Functions of Epithelium
