    TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUES

    Connective tissues are classified on the basis of types and relative abundance of cells,
    fibers and ground substance, and on the organization of fibers.
    TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUES:
    1. Connective Tissue Proper which is subdivided into loose connective tissues and
    dense connective tissues.
    Loose Connective Tissues. The fibers of loose connective tissues are loosely arranged
    between cells. The types of loose connective tissues are areolar connective tissue,
    adipose tissue, and reticular connective tissue.
    A. AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE

    B. ADIPOSE TISSUE

    C. RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE.

    Dense connective tissues contain more fibers, which are thicker and more densely
    packed, but have considerably fewer cells than loose connective tissues. There are
    three types: dense regular connective tissue, dense irregular connective tissue, and
    elastic connective tissue.

    D. DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE

    E. DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE

    F. ELASTIC CONNECTIVE TISSUE

    2. Supportive Tissues that include the cartilage and the bone.

    Cartilage consists of a dense network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers firmly
    embedded in chondroitin sulfate, a gel-like component of the ground substance.

    A. HYALINE CARTILAGE

    B. FIBROCARTILAGE

    C. ELASTIC CARTILAGE

    Bone Tissue

    Bone Tissue is composed of the mature bone cells called osteocytes. They are connected
    together by very fine tentacle-like cytoplasmic processes. Osteocytes lie within
    chambers in the matrix called lacunae. Radiating in all direction from the lacunae are
    minute canals called canaliculi. They connect the lacunae with each other. Canaliculi are
    filled with extracellular fluid and contain the slender cytoplasmic processes of the
    osteocytes.

    3. Vascular Tissue (Blood)
    Blood tissue (or simply blood) is a connective tissue with a liquid extracellular
    matrix and formed elements. The extracellular matrix is called blood plasma. The
    blood plasma is a pale yellow fluid that consists mostly of water with a wide variety
    of dissolved substancesnutrients, wastes, enzymes, plasma proteins, hormones,
    respiratory gases, and ions. Suspended in the blood plasma are formed elements
    red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets
    (thrombocytes).Red blood cells transport oxygen to body cells and remove some
    carbon dioxide from them. White blood cells are involved in phagocytosis,
    immunity, and allergic reactions. Platelets (PLT-lets) participate in blood clotting.
