Transcript
Most diverse Never exposed to outside Vascular—have blood vessels Receptors for pain, pressure and temperature Support/Protection Transportation Storage of energy reserves (Adipose cells— AKA fat cells) Defense Cell Types Fibroblasts Most abundant Produce and maintain connective tissue Macrophages Engulf damaged cells and wastes Adipocytes Fat cells Mast Cells Release chemicals to start immune response Collagen Fibers Strong and flexible Elastic Fibers Will stretch Reticular Fibers Thin Fills in space between cells Slows bacteria and pathogens Genetic Abnormal fibrillin—gives connective tissue strength and elasticity Tall with abnormally long arms, legs and fingers Abnormal cardiovascular system Weak aorta—may burst Sudden, fatal loss of blood Areolar Tissue Least specialized Increased blood supply Separates skin from muscle Pads Allows movement Supplies blood to epithelia AKA: Fat Loose Connective Tissue Padding Shock absorption Insulation Energy reserve Collects in sides, buttocks, breasts and abdomen Weight loss = deflated adipocytes Easily regain these cells b/c the cells are still there Liposuction—remove adipocytes Mostly collagen Tendons—attach muscles to bone Ligaments—attach bone to bone
