epithe
Laid on
What is the purpose of Epithelial Tissue?
Covering, Protection, Absorption, Excretion, Secretion, Filtering.

What is the purpose of fibers?
Provide support, strength.
What is the extracellular matrix?
A mixture of fibers and ground substance.
Ground substance
Unstructured fluid for filling space in connective tissue.
What are the two types of Connective Tissue proper?
Loose and Dense.
What are the three types of Loose Connective Tissue?
Areolar, Adipose, Reticular.
What is the function of Areolar Tissue?
Cushions organs.
What is the function of Adipose Tissue?
Stores fat, insulates and maintains energy reserves
What are the two types of Dense Connective Tissue?
Dense Regular and Dense Irregular
What is the function of Dense Regular Tissue?
Due to the monodirectionality of the strands, it provides great strength, but only within a small range of motion.
What is the function of Dense Irregular Tissue?
Due to omnidirectionality of the strands, it provides moderate strength in all directions.
