Histology

CONNECTIVE TISSUE
connects body parts
most abundant
vascularized
variations in blood supply
tendons, ligaments
(poor blood supply)
cartilages (avascular)

MARIBAO, MGFB

Cellular Basis of Life

MARIBAO, MGFB

Histology

Connective Tissue
protection; support
bind tissues together

Question 1:
How do bones differ
from cartilages?

Histology

Bone (osseous)
protect, support
bone cells in cavities ----lacunae
surrounded by layers of hard
matrix
(Ca salts-containing) + large #
of
collagen fibers

MARIBAO, MGFB

Histology

MARIBAO, MGFB

Histology

Cartilage
less hard, more flexible; few
places
Hyaline Cartilage
most widespread
abundant collagen fibers
larynx, attaches ribs to
breastbone
joints (covering); fetal skeleton
Fibrocartilage : in between
