| 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 |
| fluid matrix | intercellular material composed mostly of water |
| protein matrix | intercellular material rich in collagen and elastin fibers |
| ground substance matrix | intercellular material that functions to support and protect |
| fibroblast | connective tissue cell type that is large, fixed and produces fibers for matrix |
| fibroblast | connective tissue cells which produce fibers |
| ligaments | tough connective tissue which connects bone to bone |
| tendons | tough connective tissue which connects muscle to bone |
| elastic fiber | connective tissue which contains the protein elastin in complex networks |
| elastic cartilage | connective tissue which composes the vocal cords |
| 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 fibrous and cartilage connective tissue | type of connective tissue that has poor blood supply and therefore heals slowly |
| cartilage | connective tissue which provides support, frameworks, and attachments |
| cartilage | connective tissue which provides structural models for many developing bones |
| cartilage | connective tissue which is largely composed of collagenous fibers embedded in a gel-like ground substance |
| hylaine, elastic, and fibrocartilage | Name the 3 kinds of cartilage |
| hyaline cartilage | cartilage that looks like white glass |
| hyaline cartilage | cartilage that is found on the ends of bones in many joints |
| hyaline cartilage | cartilage found in soft part of nose |
| hyaline cartilage | cartilage that is found in supporting rings of the trachea |
| 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 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 |
| 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 stores and releases inorganic chemicals calcium and phosphorus |
| osteocytes | bone cells |
| blood | connective tissue which transports a variety of materials between interior body cells and those that exchange substances with the external environment (lungs) |
| blood | connective tissue composed of formed elements suspended in fluid matrix |
| blood | connective tissue composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets |
