Fluid connective tissue
- blood and lymph are connective tissue fluid matrix that surrounds cells includes many suspended
proteins that do not form insoluble fibers
- in blood, watery matrix is called plasma
- plasma — contains formed elements — blood cells and fragments of cells
- RBC
- WBC
- platelets
- body has a lot of extracellular fluid, includes
three subdivisions — plasma, interstitial fluid,
lymph
- Fluid tissue transport systems
- plasma —
confined to
vessels of
cardiovascular
system
- arteries — carry blood away
from heart and into tissues
of body
- in those tissues, blood pressure forces
water and small solutes out of bloodstream
across walls of capillaries (smallest blood
vessel)
- remaining blood flows from
capillaries into veins that
return to heart
- lymph — forms as interstitial fluid enters lymphatic vessels monitored by immune system so
lymph transported by lymphatic (lymphoid) system lymphatic vessels return lymph to large veins
near heart (venous system)
