    This document discusses the different types of connective tissue. There are three main types: true connective tissue which includes loose and dense connective tissue, supportive connective tissue including cartilage and bone, and liquid connective tissue such as blood and lymph. Loose connective tissue consists of collagen, elastic and reticular fibers in a semi-fluid ground substance. It is found in subcutaneous tissue, around blood vessels and organs. Dense connective tissue forms tendons, ligaments, dermis and joint capsules and contains tightly bundled collagen fibers.

    Connective Tissue

    Consists of two basic elements:


    cells and extracellular matrix.
    Extracellular matrix consist of
    protein fibers (collagen, elastic,
    and reticular) and a fluid known
    as the ground substance.
    TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE

    1. True Connective Tissue


    a. Loose Connective Tissue
    b. Dense Connective Tissue
    2. Supportive Connective Tissue
    a. Cartilage
    b. Bone
    3. Liquid Connective Tissue
    a. Blood
    b.Lymph
    True Connective Tissue Cells
    Fibroblasts: Secrete both fibers and ground
    substance of the matrix.
    Macrophages: Phagocytes that develop from
    Monocytes.
    Plasma Cells: Antibody secreting cells that develop
    from B Lymphocytes .
    Mast Cells: Produce heparin and histamine that help
    dilate small blood vessels in reaction to injury .
    Leucocytes:are the cells of the immune system that
    are involved in protecting the body against both
    infectious disease and foreign invaders.
    Adipocytes: Fat cells that store triglycerides,
    support and protect.
    Matrix Fibers

    Collagen Fibers: Large fibers made of the


    protein collagen and are typically the most
    abundant fibers. Promote tissue flexibility.
    Elastic Fibers: Intermediate fibers made of the
    protein elastin. Branching fibers that allow for
    stretch and recoil
    Reticular Fibers: Small delicate, branched
    fibers that have same chemical composition of
    collagen. Forms structural framework for
    organs such as spleen and lymph nodes.
    True or Proper Connective Tissue
    a. Loose Connective Tissue:
    1. Areolar tissue/consists of all 3 types of fibers, several
    types of cells, and semi-fluid ground substance found in subcutaneous
    layer and mucous membranes, and around blood vessels, nerves and
    organs
    LOOSE Connective Tissue:

    2. Adipose tissue
    consists of adipocytes; appearing fat cells. They store
    energy in the form of triglycerides (lipids).
    found in subcutaneous layer, around organs and in the
    yellow marrow of long bones
    LOOSE Connective Tissue:

    3. Reticular CT
    Consists of fine interlacing reticular fibers and reticular
    cells.
    Found in liver, spleen and lymph nodes
    b. Dense Connective Tissue:

    1. Dense regular connective tissue


    consists of bundles of collagen fibers and
    fibroblasts, forms tendons, ligaments
    b.Dense Connective Tissue:
    2. Dense irregular connective tissue
    consists of randomly-arranged collagen fibers and
    a few fibroblasts, Found in dermis of skin, joint
    capsules and heart valves
    b. Dense Connective Tissue:

    3. Elastic Connective Tissue


    The main fibers that form this tissue are elastic in
    nature. These fibers allow the tissues to recoil after
    stretching. This is especially seen in the arterial blood
    vessels and walls of the bronchial tubes.
