  1. Connective Tissue The most abundant and widely diverse of all the basic tissue types

  2. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including:

  3. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together

  4. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues

  5. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues - Protects and insulates internal organs

  6. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues - Protects and insulates internal organs - Compartmentalizes structures

  7. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues - Protects and insulates internal organs - Compartmentalizes structures - Transport system for blood

  8. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues - Protects and insulates internal organs - Compartmentalizes structures - Transport system for blood - Stores energy (fat or adipose tissue)

  9. Connective Tissue Connective tissue has a wide variety of functions including: - Binding tissue together - Support and strengthens other tissues - Protects and insulates internal organs - Compartmentalizes structures - Transport system for blood - Stores energy (fat or adipose tissue) - Immune system responses

  10. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including:

  11. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels

  12. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels • Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix

  13. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels • Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix • Plasma cells – secrete antibodies

  14. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels • Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix • Plasma cells – secrete antibodies • Macrophages – engulf bacteria and other cellular debris

  15. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels • Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix • Plasma cells – secrete antibodies • Macrophages – engulf bacteria and other cellular debris • Adipocytes – fat cells that store triglycerides

  16. Connective Tissues have a variety of different cells in their tissues including: • Mast cells – that produce histamine and dilate blood vessels • Fibroblasts – large, flat cells, the most numerous of CT cells that serve as part of the extracellular matrix • Plasma cells – secrete antibodies • Macrophages – engulf bacteria and other cellular debris • Adipocytes – fat cells that store triglycerides • White blood cells (leukocytes) – migrate from the blood into the connective tissue during immune responses

  17. Connective tissue is involved with the immune response

  18. Mast cell tumor in dog

  19. Human fibroblast cells - these cells contain numerous different types of proteins which can be visualized with different stains

  20. Phagocytosis of red blood cells Macrophages – Macrophages can consume objects through the process of phagocytosis many times their own size

  21. White Blood Cells!

  22. Real white blood cells also known As “leukocytes” Red blood cells, aka “erythrocytes”

  23. Abdominal Fat

  24. Adipose Connective Tissue

  25. Connective tissues contain a variety of fiber types

  28. Elastic Fibers found in artery

  29. Elastic Fibers

  30. Reticular Fibers lymph node

  31. Connective Tissue Groupings

  32. Areolar Connective Tissue Superficial Dermis

  33. Reticular Connective Tissue - Spleen

  34. Dense Irregular Connective Tissue - Skin

  35. Elastic Connective Tissue – Bronchiole Tissue

  36. Cartilage and Bone - Articular cartilage - Fibrocartilage - Elastic cartilage - Bone

  37. Articular Hyaline Cartilage Trachea

  38. Fibrocartilage – Pubic Symphysis
