| Connective tissues | type of tissue that binds structures, provide support and protection, serve as frameworks, fill spaces, store fat, produce blood cells, protect against infections, and help repair tissue damage |
| Connective tissues | tissue type which functions to provide support and protection |
| Connective tissues | tissue type which functions to serve as framework |
| Connective tissues | tissue type which functions to fill spaces |
| Connective tissues | tissue type which functions to store fat |

| mast cells | connective tissue cells which release heparin |
| heparin | a polysaccharide which has anticoagulent properties |
| mast cells | produce histamine |
| histamine | promotes dialation and permeability of blood vessels which leads to swelling of tissue associated with allergies |

| loose connective tissue | binds the skin to the underlying organs and fills space between muscles |
| loose connective tissue | supplies blood to nearby epithelial cells |
| adipose tissue | connective tissue which stores fat |
| adipose tissue | connective tissue which lines beneath the skin, in spaces between muscles, and around organs |
| adipose tissue | connective tissue which provides insulation |
| adipose tissue | connective tissue which stores energy in fat molecules |
| dense connective tissue | connective tissue which consists mostly of fibroblasts |
| dense connective tissue | consists of collagenous fibers, very strong |
| dense connective tissue | connective tissue which makes up ligaments and tendons |
| dense connective tissue | makes the protective white layer of eyeball called sclera |
| dense and cartilage connective tissue | type of connective tissue that has poor blood supply and therefore heals slowly |

| hyaline cartilage | cartilage that is found in supporting rings of the respiratory passages |
| hyaline cartilage | cartilage that is important in the growth of most bones |
| elastic cartilage | cartilage which contains a dense network of elastic fibers |
| elastic cartilage | cartilage which is more flexible than hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage |
| elastic cartilage | cartilage which provides the framework for external ears |
| elastic cartilage | cartilage which provides the framework for parts of the larynx |
| fibrocartilage | cartilage which is very tough tissue with many collagenous fibers |
| fibrocartilage | cartilage which is the shock absorber for structures subjected to pressure |
| fibrocartilage | cartilage which forms the intervertebral discs |
| fibrocartilage | cartilage which cushions the bones in the knees |
| fibrocartilage | cartilage which cushions the bones in the pelvic girdle |
| bone | most rigid of connective tissue |
| bone | connective tissue formed of mineral salts, calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate and collagenous fibers |
| collagenous fibers | substance found in bone which provides flexibility |
| bone | provides support and protection to body and provides place for attachment of muscles |
| bone | connective tissue which contains red and yellow marrow |
| bone | connective tissue which houses marrow, which produces blood cells |
| bone | connective tissue which stores and releases inorganic chemicals calcium and phosphorus |
| lamellae | thin layers of bone matrix which forms concentric patterns around central canals |
| Haversian canals | the small canals through which the blood vessels spread out in bone |
| osteocytes | bone cells |
| canaliculi | cytoplasmic processes that extend outward and pass through very tiny tubes in matrix of bone to promote movement of materials between blood vessels and bone cells |
| bone and loose connective tissue | Name 2 connective tissues with a steady supply of nutrients |
| adipose, dense, and cartilage | Name 3 connective tissues without a steady supply of nutrients |
| blood | connective tissue which transports a variety of materials between interior body cells and those that exchange substances with the external environment (lungs) |
