Adipose tissue – This is found in the innermost layer of the skin which is the hypodermis. This is also called the subcutaneous layer. The adipose or fat tissue is composed of adipocytes in a mesh of collagen fibers. It has large globules which causes the nucleus to be found in its periphery. These globules store energy. These stored energy are in…[Read more]

Dense irregular connective tissue- This type of epithelium is found in the dermis which is the second and thickest layer of the skin. The dermis supports the epidermis and protects the body from the external environment. It contains fibroblasts and has many collagen fibers and a little bit of elastic fibers in its matrix at all direction. In the…[Read more]

Elastic fibers in artery – this allows the artery to expand and contract. The contraction is read as systole and when it expands or relaxes it is read as diastole. It provides elasticity and resilience to the arteries. This is usually located in the aorta and pulmonary arteries which are near the heart. It helps in the maintenance of the blood…[Read more]

Blood – This is a connective tissue for it has a matrix and comes from the mesodermal cells. It has liquid and sold components. The liquid portion is the plasma which is also the matrix. The solid components include the RBCs, WBCs and platelets. The RBCs have the pigment hemoglobin and can carry 4 oxygen molecules. WBCs defend the body from…[Read more]

Heart – This organ is made up of cardiac muscle which allows its pumping action. It is divided into four chambers. The two chambers on the top are called atria and the other two on the bottom are called ventricles. It also has 4 valves which prevent the backflow of blood. The heart functions to pump oxygen, blood and hormones to the different…[Read more]

Cardiac muscle tissue – this is the only type of muscle tissue that contains intercalated discs. These discs connect the adjacent cardiac muscle cells. It also appears as branched and contains muscle fibers with single nucleus. It is found surrounding the heart and causes the mechanical pumping of the heart which is an involuntary movement. -
