Examples of connective tissue proper (CTP)

These tissues are composed of long cells called muscle fibers that allow the body to move voluntary or involuntary.

This type of tissue is composed of nerve cells called neurons and glial cells that function as support cells

Deposits collagen

Are found at a central canal surrounded by concentric circles of osteons.

Plate-like cells; for exchange of material through diffusion

Mineralized connective tissue made by bone-forming cells called osteoblasts which deposit collagen.

Brick-shaped cells; for secretion and active absorption

Is the part of the neuron that receives impulses from other neurons.

Nervous tissues are composed of nerve cell called

Characterized by collagenous fibers embedded in chondroitin sulfate.

Striated with intercalated disk for synchronized heart contraction; involuntary

Single layer of cells; may just look stacked because of varying height; for lining of respiratory tract; usually lined with cilia (i.e., a type of cell modification that sweeps the mucus).

Serve as barriers for pathogens, mechanical injuries, and fluid loss.

Combination of the matrix of collagen that makes the bone hard.

3 types of neuron

For secretion

Not striated; involuntary

Part where the impulse is transmitted to other neurons.

Are characterized by closely-joined cells with tight junctions (i.e., a type of cell modification).

Distinct arrangement of cells that make up epithelial tissue

Made up of plasma (i.e., liquid extracellular matrix); contains water, salts, and dissolved proteins; erythrocytes that carry oxygen (RBC), leukocytes for defense (WBC), and platelets for blood clotting.

Is a response to signals coming from nerve cell

Example of loose connective tissues that store fats which functions to insulate the body and store energy

Bone-forming cells

Multilayered and regenerates quickly; for protection

This type of tissue is commonly seen outside the body as coverings or as linings of organs and cavities.

Made up of loose connective tissue that is found in the skin and fibrous connective tissue that is made up of collagenous fibers found in tendons and ligaments.

Four main types of cell are

Are the cells that secrete collagen and chondroitin sulfate.

Allow the body to move voluntary and involuntary

Muscle tissue can be characterized

Striated; voluntary movements

Connective tissue is compose of

Functiona as cushion between bones.
