Features
Embryonic connective tissues
mesenchyme, mucous
found below the skin and around organs (heart, kidney)
Adipocytes
Percentage of the blood made up of plasma
55%
This bone cell forms bone extracellular matrix
Osteoblast
What are the there types of cartilage
articular (hyaline), fibrocartilage, elastic
6 functions of connective tissue
Bind, protect, separate structures, transport (blood), store energy (adipose), immune response
develop from monocytes and destroy bacteria and cell debris by phagocytosis
Macrophages
red blood cells contain this, to carry O2 and CO2
Hemoglobin
this type of bone cell has its origins from WBC lineage
osteoclasts
This type of cartilage allows for joint movement while reducing friction
articular (hyaline)
Three types of mature connective tissues
white blood cells that migrate to sites of parasitic infection and allergic responses
Eosinophils
mature RBC do not contain these two things
nucleus and organelles
this bone cell maintains bone tissue
Osteocyte
This type of cartilage can be found in vertebral discs to support the sine
fibrocartilage
Two types of connective tissue proper
loose, dense
white blood cells that migrate to sites of infection that destroy microbes by phagocytosis
neutrophils
Platelets start as this, but are broken down into 2000-3000 fragments
megakaryocytes
four major function of bone tissue
support, protection, storage, levers for movement
This type of cartilage functions as shape and strength
elastic
Two types of supporting connective tissue
cartilage, bone
produce histamine, which dilates small blood vessels during inflammation and kills bacteria
Mast cells
RBC, WBC, and platelets are formally referred to as these, all ending in -cytes
erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
The space between the osteocyte and calcified ECM
bone lacuna
Cartilage is what type of connective tissue
supportive connective tissue
