Document Summary

Connective tissue: a kind of tissue, usually of mesoblastic origin, that connects, supports, or surrounds other tissues and organs, including tendons, bone, cartilage, and fatty tissue. Connective tissue can be broadly subdivided into connective tissue proper, special connective tissue, and series of other, less classifiable types of connective tissues. Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue (which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues. ) Special connective tissue consists of reticular connective tissue, adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood. Other kinds of connective tissues include fibrous, elastic, and lymphoid connective tissues. Cell adhesion and movement: leukocytes travel through connective tissue to get to point of invader. Molecular exchange: vascularized with capillaries; beds of capillaries allow for exchange of materials. Cells: macrophage, lymphocyte, plasma cell, neutrophil, fibres, collagen. Molecules: 30% glycine, 20% proline; self assembling triple helix. Fibril: self assembling bundles of triple helices. Heavy about 50% of body weight.
