2 Table 4.1 Comparison of Classes of Connective Tissues (1 of 2)

3 Table 4.1 Comparison of Classes of Connective Tissues (2 of 2)

4 Figure 4.8g Connective tissues.
(g) Cartilage: hyaline Description: Amorphous but firm matrix; collagen fibers form an imperceptible network; chondroblasts produce the matrix and when mature (chondrocytes) lie in lacunae. Function: Supports and reinforces; has resilient cushioning properties; resists compressive stress. Location: Forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx. Chondrocyte in lacuna Matrix Costal cartilages Photomicrograph: Hyaline cartilage from the trachea (750x).

5 Figure 4.8h Connective tissues.
(h) Cartilage: elastic Description: Similar to hyaline cartilage, but more elastic fibers in matrix. Function: Maintains the shape of a structure while allowing great flexibility. Chondrocyte in lacuna Location: Supports the external ear (pinna); epiglottis. Matrix Photomicrograph: Elastic cartilage from the human ear pinna; forms the flexible skeleton of the ear (800x).

6 Figure 4.8i Connective tissues.
(i) Cartilage: fibrocartilage Description: Matrix similar to but less firm than that in hyaline cartilage; thick collagen fibers predominate. Function: Tensile strength with the ability to absorb compressive shock. Location: Intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint. Chondrocytes in lacunae Intervertebral discs Collagen fiber Photomicrograph: Fibrocartilage of an intervertebral disc (125x). Special staining produced the blue color seen.

7 Figure 4.8j Connective tissues.
(j) Others: bone (osseous tissue) Description: Hard, calcified matrix containing many collagen fibers; osteocytes lie in lacunae. Very well vascularized. Central canal Function: Bone supports and protects (by enclosing); provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis). Lacunae Lamella Location: Bones Photomicrograph: Cross-sectional view of bone (125x).

8 Figure 4.8k Connective tissues.
(k) Others: blood Description: Red and white blood cells in a fluid matrix (plasma). Plasma Function: Transport of respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances. Neutrophil Location: Contained within blood vessels. Red blood cells Lymphocyte Photomicrograph: Smear of human blood (1860x); two white blood cells (neutrophil in upper left and lymphocyte in lower right) are seen surrounded by red blood cells.
