numerous blood vessels
scattered fibroblasts
Reticular
forms stroma (a
connective tissue
framework) of lymph
nodes, spleen, thymus
and bone marrow
composed of a network
of branched collagen
fibres, scattered
fibroblasts and
leukocytes
Adipose
found in subcutaneous
tissue and around some
organs
composed of closely-
packed adipocytes
Hyaline
found on the articular surfaced of
synovial joints; also forms the
cartilage of the larynx, trachea, and
nose.
chondrocytes in lacunae scattered in
matrix
collagen fibrils in matrix
has perichondrium, a dense irregular
connective tissue sheath
Elastic
found in the external ear and the
epiglottis
abundant elastic fibres, forms a web-
like mesh around lacunae that contain
chondrocytes
has a perichondrium
Fibrocartilage
found in intervertebral discs, pubis
symphysis, and the menisci of the
knee joint
contains numerous irregular bundles
of collagen fibres
sparse ground substance contains
chondrocytes within lacunae arranged
in parallel rows
does not have perichondrium
Compact
forms hard, outer shell of bones
concentric rings of bones called
lamellae form cylindrical
structures osteons
each osteon has a central canal
that connects to a network of tiny
branching passageways called
canaliculi
the central canal and canaliculi
contain blood vessels.
osteocytes or mature bone cells
occupy lacunae, small spaces
between neighbouring lamellae
Spongy
also known as cancellous bone,
usually forms inside of bones
does not contain osteons
slender bone plates called
trabeculae form a bony network
space between trabeculae contain
marrow and blood vessels
osteocytes are scattered
throughout the trabeculae
combination of compact and
spongy bone allows bone to be
both strong and lightweight
Components:
cells
protein fibres
ground substance
Protein fibres and ground
substance form the extracellular
matrix.
Functions:
structural support
binds organs of the body
fat storage
exchange of nutrients and
metabolic waste
defence and protection
Regular
forms tendons and most
ligaments
composed of densely packed,
parallel collagen fibres with
fibroblasts between the layer
little ground substance
Regular
found in the dermis, periosteum
and perichondrium, and the
capsule of organs
composed predominantly of
randomly arranged collagen
fibres with fibroblasts
interspersed
more ground substance than
regular connective tissue
Elastic
found in walls of elastic arteries,
trachea and bronchi, and the
vocal cords
composed of branching elastic
fibres, with fibroblasts in some
spaces between the fibres
o elastic fibres formed by
the protein elastin

Document Summary

Protein fibres and ground substance form the extracellular matrix. Elastic subcutaneous layer and around organs. numerous blood vessels scattered fibroblasts. Reticular forms stroma (a connective tissue framework) of lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and bone marrow composed of a network of branched collagen fibres, scattered fibroblasts and leukocytes. Adipose found in subcutaneous tissue and around some organs composed of closely- packed adipocytes forms tendons and most ligaments composed of densely packed, parallel collagen fibres with fibroblasts between the layer little ground substance. Regular found in the dermis, periosteum and perichondrium, and the capsule of organs composed predominantly of randomly arranged collagen fibres with fibroblasts interspersed: more ground substance than regular connective tissue.
