4-Zoology-Tissue-Connective

connective tissue

Tissues {connective tissue}| {matrix, tissue} {tissue matrix} can support other tissues and secrete intercellular materials. Connective tissues include bone, cartilage, tendon, and fibrous tissue.

cartilage

Connective tissues can secrete firm, rubber-like matrix {cartilage}| used for shape and light support.

fibrous tissue

Connective tissue {fibrous tissue}| can be for covering organs and separating organs, by secreting interlocking collagen-fiber network.

ligament

Connective tissue {ligament}| can connect organs or bone to bone.

stroma

Organs have connective tissue structures {stroma}. For example, cornea middle layer has collagen lamellae.

tendon

Connective tissue {tendon}| can connect muscles to each other and to bone.

serosa

Fibrous connective tissues {serosa} can lines pericardial, pleural, and peritoneal cavities. They have covering mesothelium.

hyaline cartilage

Hyaluronic-acid cartilage {hyaline cartilage} covers joint bones.

septum as tissue

Membranes {septum, membrane} can separate organs or body cavities.

tarsal plate

Flat fibrous connective tissue {tarsal plate} shapes eyelid edges.

4-Zoology-Tissue-Connective-Bone

bone

Connective tissues {bone}| can secrete organic matrix with calcium salts, in layers, which then harden. Some bone cells reabsorb matrix.

fibroblast of bone

Bone has bone cells {fibroblast, bone}|.

Haversian canal

Blood vessels and nerves {Haversian canal} go through matrix.

lamellae

Bone has layers {lamellae}.

marrow tissue

Bone centers {marrow, tissue}| have fat {yellow marrow} or regions {red marrow} where red blood cells form.
