  1. Connective tissue Major types of connective tissue: Areolar Adipose Fibrous connective Bone Cartilage Blood Hemopoietic

  2. Areolar tissuemost widely distributed, gives form to organs, consists of webs of fibers

  3. Blood tissuematrix is liquid, used in transport, protection

  4. Blood smear

  5. Bonematrix is hard and calcified, circular arrangement of cells called osteons, storage for calcium, provides support and protection

  6. Dense fibrous tissueconsists of bundles of strong collagen fibers, composes tendons, anchors muscles to bones

  7. Cartilage tissuesmatrix is consistency of firm plastic, cells called chondrocytes

  8. Adipose tissuefat tissue, store lipids

  9. Hemopoietic Tissuefound in red marrow cavities of bones, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes involved in formation of blood cells

  10. Muscle tissue • 3 kinds: skeletal, cardiac and smooth

  11. Skeletal muscle tissue“Striated”, voluntary, attaches to bone

  12. Cardiac Muscle tissueInvoluntary, intercalated disks, walls of heart

  13. Smooth muscle (Visceral)involuntary, walls of blood vessels and hollow organs

  14. Nervous tissue - communication • Composed of cell body, axon and dendrites

  15. Nervous tissue
