Loose Connective Tissue Characterized By Short Dark Fibers
Loose connective tissue is the most common type of connective tissue in vertebrates.
Loose connective tissue characterized by short dark fibers. For example it forms telae such as the tela submucosa and tela subserosa which connect mucous and serous membranes to the muscular layer. Loose connective tissue also called areolar connective tissue has a sampling of all of the components of a connective tissue. Reticular fibers join connective tissues to other tissues. What s inside loose connective tissue.
In loose connective tissue the fibers are loosely organized leaving large spaces in between. The term areolar connective tissue means tissue with small open spaces areola and refers to the appearance of small airy pockets between the network of cells and fibers. Regularly arranged bundles of closely packed collagen fivers with little ground substance. Collagen fibers oriented in the same direction.
Dense irregular connective tissue dense connective tissue that contains protein fibers that can be arranged as a network of randomly oriented fibers. Dense regular connective tissue found in structures such as tendons and ligaments is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion giving it tensile strength in one. As illustrated in figure 1 loose connective tissue has some fibroblasts. Regularly arranged bundles of closely packed collagen fibers with little ground substance.
Characterized by closely packed collagen fibers with little ground substance dense regular connective tissue description. Connective tissue found in tendons and ligaments. Collagen fibers are relatively wide and stain a light pink. Loose connective tissue has much more ground substance and a relative lack of fibrous tissue while the reverse is true of dense connective tissue.
Fibroblasts are arranged in rows between fibers. Both tissues have a variety of cell types and protein fibers suspended in a viscous ground substance. Dense connective tissue w fibers oriented by thick fibers oriented in one direction dense regular loose connective tissue characterized by a network of short dark staining fibers. They are made of collagen and consist of bundles of fibrils.
It holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. Elastic fibers make tissue stretchable and are made of elastin. Strong in many directions. Collagenous fibers provide strength.
Within this tissue. Connective tissues contains a mixture of 3 types of fibers. Dense connective tissue is reinforced by bundles of fibers that provide tensile strength elasticity and protection. Provides great tensile strength when pulled in direction of fibers.
Macrophages are present as well.
