eventually substantiates into all other connective tissues and provides a source of cells in new connective tissues

What are the types of CONNECTIVE TISSUE and their functions?

supports the umbilical cord

supports and binds other tissue, holds body fluids, defends against infection, stores nutrients in fat

MESENCHYME

MUCOUS

AREOLAR

ADIPOSE

REGULAR CONNECTIVE

DENSE REGULAR CONNECTIVE

DENSE IRREGULAR CONNECTIVE

HYALINE CARTILAGE

ELASTIC CARTILAGE

similar to areolar but with much stronger nutrient-storing ability

forms internal framework that can support free blood cells in lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow

forms tendons and ligaments

fibrous coverings that surround some muscles

provides firm support with some pliability

nearly identical to hyaline

serves as structural intermediate between hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissues

supports androgens body structures and provides cavities for fat storage and synthesis of blood cells

doesn't connect things or give mechanical support, but is classified as connective tissues
