- Red Blood Cells
- transport gases
- Dense Connective Tissue
- tendons and ligaments, very strong, binds body parts together, has poor blood supply and slow to heal
- cat
- domesticated feline house pet
- Fixed Cells
- reside in the tissue for extended period of time
- Connective Tissues
- bind structures, provide support and protection, serve as framework, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infection, help repair tissue damage
- Cartilage
- rigid, provides support, framework, attachments, provides a structural model for many developing bones; lacks direct blood supply, heals slowly, contains a large volume of water
- Platelates
- cause blood clotting
- Plasma
- fluid where blood cells are found
- Elastic Cartilage
- more flexible, ears and larynx
- Bone Tissue
- Most rigid connective tissue, Internally supports body structures, very active tissue, heals much more rapidly than cartilage
- Adipose Tissue
- these cells accumulate fat, they enlarge and their nuclei is pushed to one side
- Loose Connective Tissue
- binds the skin to the muscle tissue
- Wandering Cells
- appear in tissues temporarily in response to injury or infection.
- Hyaline Cartilage
- most common, tips of bones at joints, soft part of the nose, supporting rings of the trachea. Prominent in early development.
- Reticular Connective Tissue
- provides the framework for some internal organs (spleen, liver, lymphatic organs; have collagen fibers
- Elastic Connective Tissue
- found in the attachments between bones of the spinal column; very rare but found in large arteries
- Blood Tissue
- Cells suspended in fluid called PLASMA
- White Blood Cells
- fight infection
- Fibrocartilage
- very tough, shock absorber, intervertebral discs, knees and pelvis.
- dog
- domesticated canine house pet
