Elastic
- General Features
o6 different types
Vary in density and types of fibers
oFunctions as a binding tissue
oResist mechanical stress, particularly tension
oProvides reservoir for water and lasts
oNutrient (fat) storage
Cartilage
- Subclass
oHyaline cartilage
oElastic cartilage
ofibrocartilage
- Cells
oChondroblasts found in growing cartilage
ochondrocytes
- Matrix
oGel-like ground substance
oFibers
Collagen, Elastic fibers in some
- General Features
oResist compression because of the large amounts of water held in the matrix
oFunctions to cushion and support body structures
