Diversity of Connective Tissue
Types and Functions:• Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat
– insulation, protection (padding), loosely connecting structures
• Dense Connective Tissue: Ligaments and tendons– binding and support
• Cartilage – protection, support
• Bone– support
• Blood– transportation

Common Characteristics of all CT
1. Embryonic origin: (mesenchyme)3. Composed of different types of cells within the tissue.
2. Has an extracellular matrix of fibers and ground substance.
Ground substance
4. Variation in amount of blood supply (vascularization)
5. All support epithelium

Loose Connective Tissue
Ex. 1: Areolar – most widely distributed type.– Gelatinous– Loosely packed; lots of liquid held in ground
substance– “packing material” cushioning organs,
subcutaneous, attaches skin to muscle.– Has all three fibers– Cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells,
and white blood cells– Swells during inflammation (edema)

• Ex. 2: Adipose = Fat!– Loosely packed with sparse matrix– 90% of tissue is mature adipocyte cell– Most of each cell is a fat droplet, so nuclei
is displaced to the side– Richly vascularized– Nutrient storage, cushioning in areas like
abs, hips, around kidneys– High concentrations subcutaneous (under
skin) – shock absorber, insulation– Fat deposits act as local nutrient sources
around active organs (heart, muscles)

• Ex. 3 Reticular– Only contains reticular fibers.– VERY DELICATE – a fine net of fibers
that act as a “soft” skeleton– Supports lympho nodes, bone
marrow, spleen, free blood cells.

Dense Connective Tissue• Ex. 1: Dense Regular – Tendons and
Ligaments– Fibers predominate. – Abundant and crowded fibroblasts
make fibers– Little ground substance– Regular, parallel bundles of collagen
fibers– Resist tension: pull and stretching.– Ligaments connect bone to bone– Tendons connect muscle to bone.– Poorly vascularized

Cartilage
Characteristics– Resists tension AND compression– Lots of collagen (strong) AND elastic
fibers (flexible)– No nerves or blood vessels– High content of proteoglycans 80%
water– Chondroblasts make matrix until end
of human adolescence– Mature Chondrocytes found in
cavities called lacunae (pit)
![Page 23: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hyaline Cartilage
• Looks glassy (hyalin = glass)• Few chondrocytes, all found in
lacunae• Mostly matrix – lots of collagen• Reduces friction, absorbs pressure• Covers ends of long bones, connects
ribs to sternum, forms rings in trachea and bronchi

Bone (Osseous Tissue)
• Most supportive tissue in body. • Matrix is similar to cartilage, but with
morer collagen (strong) surrounded by calcium salts
• Osteoblasts make collagen fibers and calcium salts deposited between fibers.
• Well vascularized• Osteocytes stored in lacunae• Bone marrow stores fat and makes blood
cells.

Blood
• Atypical connective tissue• Only classified as such because it
arises from same embryonic tissue• Blood cells are within a matrix of
blood plasma.• Fibers apparent only when blood
clots.

How do damaged tissues repair?
Injured cells release hormones and proteins to signal need for healthy cells to divide and migrate.
![Page 38: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Steps to Tissue Repair1) Inflammation• Inflammatory
chemicals released by injured cells, macrophages, mast cells
• Vessels dilate, allowing clotting and plasma proteins and wbc to invade injured site.
• Clotting proteins begin clotting.
2) Restore Blood Supply
• Granulation tissue replaces clot, digested by macrophages
• New capillaries form.• Fibroblast in
granulation tissue make collagen and growth factors.
3) Regeneration or Fibrosis below scab
a) Regeneration: replacement w/ same tissue type
b) Fibrosis: replacement w/ fibrous connective tissue (scar)
![Page 39: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Regeneration Capacity
Varies by tissues
High capacity No capacity
•Epithelial
•Bone
•Areolar CT
•Dense I. CT
•Blood forming tissue
•Dense R. CT •Cartilage •Cardiac Muscle
•Nervous Tissue
Fibrosis replaces tissue in non-regenerative tissues
• Mostly collagen• STRONG but lacks flexibility/elasticity• Cannot perform function of tissue that was replaced
![Page 40: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Extracellular Matrix• Embeds cells of connective tissue• Medium for nutrients and other dissolved
substances that nourish cells• Made up of ground substance and fibers.• Ground substance
– Texture varies•Can be liquid, gel-like, semi-solid or hard.•depends on amount of cell adhesion proteins
that trap water called proteoglycans –More proteins, more solid ground
substance.
• Fibers provide strength and/or flexibility– Allows for weight bearing, withstanding of
mechanical abuse, tension – protects!!

Dense connective tissue, lots of fibers, little open space.
![Page 43: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Loose connective tissue:
Lots of ground substance – fewer fibers
![Page 44: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Fibers
• Embedded in ground substance• Adds strength/flexibility.• Created by undifferentiated “blast”
cells of extracellular matrix• 3 Kinds
1. Collagen: Strong2. Elastic: Flexible3. Reticular: Delicate
![Page 45: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Collagen (white fibers)
• Rope-like bundles
• Tough, stronger then steel!
• Tension resistant
Return to fibers
![Page 46: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Elastic (yellow fibers)
• Long, thin
• Branching networks
• Stretch and recoil ability for elasticity
• Highly concentrated in areas like skin, lungs, vessels where elasticity is needed

Reticular “network” fibers• Short, fine, delicate
• Collagenous, but with more give due to branching network
• Support soft tissue organs, blood vessels
• abundant in boundaries where connective tissue lines other tissues (ex. basement membrane)
Reticular fibers
Collagen
Blood vessel
![Page 48: Connective Tissue (CT). Diversity of Connective Tissue Types and Functions: Loose Connective Tissue: Areolar and fat –insulation, protection (padding),](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649cf95503460f949cb372/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Cells in Matrix• Cells of CT make and maintain the ground
substance and fibers of extracellular matrix (ECM).
• Each type of CT have immature and mature forms of these cells.
• Immature cells have suffix “-blast” – are actively mitotic and produce ECM.– Fibroblasts – make loose and dense CT proper– Chondroblasts – make cartilage– Osteoblasts – make bone– Hematopoeitic stem cells – make blood
• Mature cells have suffix “-cyte” – maintain health of matrix– Ex. Fibrocyte
• Mature “cyte” cells can reverting to “blasts” to regenerate matrix after injury.

What other cells are in CT?
• Accessory Cells:– White blood cells (macrophages,
plasma cells)– responsible for immune response
– Mast cells – responsible for inflammation following injury or infection.
– Fat cells – store nutrients
