Conective Tissues
- Epithetal Tissues
- Functions
- Protection,
filtration, secretion,
absorption and
excretion.
- Examples
- Simple squamous
epithelium.
- Simple cuboidal
epithelium.
- Simple columnar
epithelium.
- Pseudostratified ciliated
columnar epithelium.
- Stratified squamous
epithelium.
- Characteristics
- Tightly packed cells
that form a
continuous layer.
- Classification
- Covering and lining
epithelium.
- Functions
- It binds together, supports,
and strengthens other body
tissues.
- Protects and insulates
internal organs.
- Compartmentalizes
structures such as skeletal
muscles.
- Serves as the major transport
system with in body (blood).
- Is the primary location of stored
energy reserves (fat)
- Is the main source of
immune responses.
- Examples
- Loose connective tissue.
- Adipose tissue
- Blood
- Fribrous connective tissue
- Cartilage
- Bone
- Characteristics
- Has cells that
are widely
separated by a
matrix, which
is a noncellular
material that is
made up of a
ground
substance and
fibers.
- The ground substance is the
component of the connective
tissue between the cells and
fibers
- Classification
- Loose fibrous
connective tissue,
dense fibrous
connective tissue,
adipose tissue,
reticular connective
tissue, cartilage, bone
and the liquid
connective tissues
that are blood and
lymph.
