What type of tissue is more widely spread around the body?
epithelial tissue is most widely distributed in the body
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
How do loose and connective tissue differ?
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.
Is blood a tissue?
No. At least according to Wikipedia it isnt. Check here for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood YES IT IS according to my college Biology book. It is a connective tissue and another weird connective tissue is bone and cartillage. Don't believe everything on Wiki but for my test Monday, I am listing blood as a connective tissue because my Professor told me it is.
How many types of tissues are there in your body?
Cells group together in the body to form tissues - a collection of similar cells that group together to perform a specialized function. There are 4 primary tissue types in the human body: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nerve tissue.Epithelial Tissue - The cells of epithelial tissue pack tightly together and form continuous sheets that serve as linings in different parts of the body. Epithelial tissue serve as membranes lining organs and helping to keep the body's organs separate, in place and protected. Some examples of epithelial tissue are the outer layer of the skin, the inside of the mouth and stomach, and the tissue surrounding the body's organs.Connective Tissue - There are many types of connective tissue in the body. Generally speaking, connective tissue adds support and structure to the body. Most types of connective tissue contain fibrous strands of the protein collagen that add strength to connective tissue. Some examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and fat tissue. In addition to these more recognizable forms of connective tissue, blood is also considered a form of connective tissue.Muscle Tissue - Muscle tissue is a specialized tissue that can contract. Muscle tissue contains the specialized proteins actin and myosin that slide past one another and allow movement. Examples of muscle tissue are contained in the muscles throughout your body.Nerve Tissue - Nerve tissue contains two types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Nerve tissue has the ability to generate and conduct electrical signals in the body. These electrical messages are managed by nerve tissue in the brain and transmitted down the spinal cord to the body.
Is a cartilage connective tissue?
no, but connective tissue surrounds the cartilage. a connective tissue is more like ligaments and tendons, but not cartilage.
Dense connective tissue made of collagen fibers?
Collagen fibres are important part of connective tissue. Depending on type of connective tissue you have more or less collagen fibres in it.
What type of tissue is more widely spread around the body?
epithelial tissue is most widely distributed in the body
Is collagen and connective tissue the same?
Technically they are the same. Fibrous connective tissue is basically any kind of connective tissue different than adipose and areolar. The fibrous connective tissue has more fibroblast and collagen fiber (a characteristic of dense connective tissue) but no much of elastic fibers (which is the histological difference with cartilage). Of course, we have to exclude blood, lymph and bones from the fibrous tissues because they are specialized connective tissue and have totally different characteristics than dense and loose connective tissue.
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
How do loose and connective tissue differ?
Loose Connective Tissue consists of a lot of ground substance and it has all 3 types of protein fibers. Dense Connective Tissue on the other hand has little ground substance, few cells, and although it has most protein fibers it mainly consists of collagen fibers.
How do you distinguish generally between epithelium tissue and connective tissue?
There is usually more ECM than cells in connective tissue. Epithelium is a highly cellular tissue, mostly composed of cells with little matrix.
What does connective tissue protect in the body?
the connective tissues protects the fat, bone, cartilage and alot more
Connective tissue that is more flexible than bone?
Cartilage
4 types of tissue?
Human bodies are conformed of 4 basic kinds of tissue. Those are Nervous Tissue, Epithelial Tissue, Connective Tissue and Muscular Tissue. Connective tissue is the most abundant and widely spread and the one that performs more different functions.
Is osteoarthritis a connective tissue disease?
Yes.Diseases of the connective tissue can be divided into two general groups. First is a group of basically unusual genetic disorders that affect the primary structure of connective tissues These hereditary or genetic connective tissue diseases include Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, and osteogenesis imperfecta.Secondly acquired conditions where connective tissue undergoes several more or less distinctive immunological and inflammatory reactions. These acquired connective tissue diseases include, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatic fever, and osteoarthritis. Among many more.
What is a connective tissue that is more flexible than bone?
It is known as cartilage.
