Connective Tissues:A. General Characteristics
1. Connective tissues bind, support, protect, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infection, and repair tissue damage.
2. Unlike epithelial tissues, connective tissues have
abundant matrix, or intercellular material, throughout, and have good blood supplies (except cartilage).

B. Major Cell Types 1. The fibroblast is the
most common cell type, and is a fixed, star-shaped cell that
secretes fibers and is large in size.
2. Wandering macrophages function as scavenger cells and defend against infection.

C. Connective Tissue Fibers 1. Strong collagenous
fibers (white fibers), made of the protein collagen, add strength for holding body parts
together. 2. Elastic fibers (yellow
fibers), made of the protein elastin, are stretchy and add flexibility
to certain types of connective tissues.

D. Loose Connective (areolar) Tissue
1. This type of tissue forms delicate, thin membranes throughout the body that bind body parts together such as skin and underlying organs. 2. The majority of the cells
are fibroblasts that are separated by a gel-like ground substance that contains collagenous and elastic fibers.

organs, and in certain abdominal
membranes.

densely packed collagenous fibers and is very strong but lacks a good
blood supply. 2. It is found as part of
tendons and ligaments.

G. Cartilage 1. Cartilage is a rigid
connective tissue that provides a supportive framework for
various structures. It lacks a vascular system and so
heals slowly. 2. Cartilage cells
(chondrocytes) lie within lacunae in the gel-
like fluid matrix.

3. Cartilaginous structures are enclosed within a
connective tissue perichondrium.
4. The most common, hyaline cartilage, is white
with abundant fine collagen fibers, is found at the ends of bones, and supports respiratory passages.

5. Elastic cartilage, with elastic fibers, provides a framework for the external ears and parts of the larynx.
6. Fibrocartilage, with many collagenous
fibers, is a tough tissue that provides a shock-absorbing

Muscle Tissues:A. General Characteristics
1. Muscle cells, or fibers are highly specialized for contraction.
Contract – means “to shorten” muscle contraction – produces movement
There are three types of muscle tissue:

Skeletal Muscle Tissue
1. Skeletal muscle is attached to the skeleton (bones).
- controlled by conscious effort (voluntary).
- Forms the “flesh” of the body

Skeletal Muscle Tissue
When skeletal muscles contract, they pull on the bones or skin.
Skeletal muscle cells are:
Long, cylindrical, multinucleated, and striated (stripes)

C. Smooth Muscle Tissue1. Smooth muscle tissue
lacks striations, is uni-nucleate, and consists of spindle-shaped (means pointed at each end) cells.
2. This involuntary muscle is found in the walls of internal organs, and in the digestive tract, blood vessels, and
urinary bladder.

Smooth Muscle Tissue
• When it contracts, the cavity of the organ becomes smaller (constricts) or enlarges (dilates) to that substances are propelled through the organ.
Ex. Peristalsis – a wave-like motion that keeps food moving through the small intestine

D. Cardiac Muscle Tissue 1. Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the heart and consists of branching fibers that are connected to each other with intercalated disks.
- allows ions to pass freely from cell to cell, resulting in rapid conduction of the electrical im pulse across the heart.
2. This involuntary muscle (unconscious control) has a single nucleus in each cell but appears striated.

Cardiac Muscle Tissue
As cardiac muscle contracts, the heart acts as a pump and propels blood through the blood vessels.

Nervous Tissues: A. Nervous tissues are found in the
brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
B. Neurons, or nerve cells, conduct nervous impulses while
helper cells, or neuroglia, support, insulate, and nourish the delicate neurons.

Nervous Tissues
• Neurons – receive and conduct electrical impulses from one part of the body to another
- Functions in “ conductivity and irritability”
