categories of connective tissue proper
LOOSE
adipose
adipocytes (fat) = expand to store fat, shrink when fat is used
white fat = most common, absorbs shocks
brown fat = more vascularized
reticular
(stromal)
fibrous network to
support
parenchymal cells (functional)
located:
in the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and lymph nodes
areolar
can distort w/ out damage
support and provide elasticity
more ground substance less fiber
located:
papillary of the dermis
DENSE
regular
tightly packed, parallel collagen fibers
tendons attach muscles to bones (
MTB
)
ligaments connect bone to bone (
BLB
) and stabilize organs
aponeuroses attach in sheets to large flat muscles
FUNCTION:
provide firm attachment
irregular
collagen fibers
NOT
arranged in a parallel fashion
FUNCTION:
provides strength to resist forces applied in many directions, helps prevent overexpansion
found:
composes the reticular layer of the dermis (the lower layer of the dermis's two layers)
