  1. The Connective Tissues Prepared by : Reem Aldossari

  2. The connective tissues • Connective tissue is the most diverse of the four tissue types with a wide variety of Functions. Functions of connective tissue: *Protection of organs *Providing structural framework for the body *Connection of body tissues *connects epithelial tissues to the muscle tissues

  3. The matrix consist of : Protein fibers White( Collagen) fibers Yellow ( Elastic ) fibers (occur in bundles) (occur as a single and branched). • * The matrix may be solid (as in bone), soft (as in loose connective tissue), or liquid (as in blood).

  4. Cartilage • Cartilage is studied as an example of skeletal connective tissue. • *It has 4 main functions, these are: • Itforms the majority of the temporary skeleton in themammalianembryos until it is replaced by bone. • In adults, it supports the structure of the nasal septum, ear pinna, larynx, trachea and bronchi. • It covers the articular surfaces of movable joints. • It forms the epiphyseal plate.

  10. The hyaline cartilage: Trachea of the rabbit is studied as an example. • It is called hyaline (hyalos = gloss) because of its glossy, whitish blue appearance in the fresh state. • The matrix is semi-solid and contains very delicate collagen fibers. The refractive index of the matrix is equivalent to that of its fibers, so it appears clear. • It is the most common form of cartilage.
