Overview of Connective Tissue Types and Characteristics

In this presentation, Ph.D. and M.D. Jun Zhou from Zhejiang University's School of Medicine discusses connective tissue, classifying it into two main categories: connective tissue proper (including loose, dense, adipose, and reticular tissues) and specialized connective tissue (such as cartilage, bone, and blood). Key characteristics like cell composition, matrix presence, vascularization, and developmental origin from mesoderm are highlighted. Detailed observations from histological slides of various tissues provide insights into the structural and functional aspects of connective tissues in the human body.

  2. Connective tissue (part 1) 1.Spread slide (No. 4) (Drawing) 2.Loose CT (No.1) (small intestine) 3.Dense CT ( No.14) (finger skin) 4.Adipose tissue (No.14/No.6) 5.Reticular tissue (No.6) (lymph node)

  3. Classification • Connective tissue proper: Loose connective tissue Dense connective tissue Adipose tissue Reticular tissue • Specialized connective tissue: Cartilage Bone Blood

  4. Characteristics • Fewer cells ,more matrix, more cell types • No polarization • Numerous blood vessles • From mesoderm-mesenchyme
