MT 30 – J (LAB) | S.Y '23-'24 1 year, 7 months ago Activity 2B: Connective Tissue
Medium: Color pencil
Description: 📚
Connective tissues are called connective tissues because they connect and support organs and tissues in the body. Some of them even play a role in the transport of nutrients and waste products. Some store materials such as fat and other substances for future resources (e.g., repair). Some have the capability of fighting pathogens and controlling infection. This tissue consists of an abundant extracellular matrix compared to its number of cells. In addition, they are classified based on their nonliving components.
Connective tissue proper: areolar, adipose, reticular, dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic
Specialized: cartilage (hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic), lymph, blood, and bone
Portrayed tissues: 🎨
Elastic cartilage (1) can be found in your ears. It provides elasticity and strength to the area.
Blood (2) circulates in the circulatory system and serves as the transporter of nutrients and waste.
?
Adipose or fat tissue (3) can be found anywhere and serves as cushioning and energy storage.
Lastly, the bone (4) provides structural support and protects our internal organs.
Note: Some of the illustrations (bone, adipose, and blood) were based on online sources below.
