Connective Tissue
 Found everywhere in the body
 Functions
 Binds body tissues together
 Supports the body
 Provides protection
Connective Tissue
 Variations in blood supply
 Some tissue types are well vascularized
 Some have a poor blood supply or are avascular
 Extracellular Matrix
Connective Tissue
 Microscopes:
 Bone
 Loose Connective: Adipose
 Blood
 Sketch each slide and answer the questions that go
along with each one
Cartilage
 Hyaline Cartilage:
 Less hard and more flexible than bone
 Larynx, voice box, attaches ribs to breastbone
 Fibrocartilage:
 Highly compressible
 Cushion like disks between vertebrae
 Elastic cartilage:
 External ear

Fibrocartilage
Dense Connective Tissue
 Collagen fibers and fibroblasts
 Strong rope-like structures
 Tendons: Attach skeletal muscles to bones
 Ligaments: Connect bones to bones at joints
Dense Connective Tissue
Loose Connective Tissue
 Areolar Tissue:
 Most widely distributed connective tissue
 Cushions and protects the body organs
 Helps hold internal organs together
 Adipose

Cardiac Muscle Tissue
 Only in heart
 Striations
 Branching cells that fit together at intercalated disks
 Gap junctions allow ions to pass freely (electrical impulses)
