As you examined each specific connective tissue, what were the general characteristics they possessed? List and describe those characteristics that you were able observe. A abdominal impact injuries in the region of the LUQ often involve the spleen. Explain the structural tissue characteristics within the spleen that make it so vulnerable to serious injury.

Solution

Answer= Specific types of connective tissues general characteristics

1] connective proper = consists of loose connective tissues =

Fibres are loosely attached with many cells

example adipose tissue = 1] is loose fibrous connective tissue

2] packed with many cells called adipocytes

3] they are specialised for storage of fats

2] Dense connective tissue = contain thicker denser fibres & few cells

a) The matrix is made up of collagen fibres with fibroblast arranged in rows

b) This type of tissue forms tendons & ligaments which attach muscle to bone & bone to bone respectively

2] Cartilage =Flexible connective tissue found in many areas in body of humans & other animals

including joints between bones , the rib cage , the ear, nose , elbow , knee

1] contains specialised cells called chondroblast

2] does not contains blood vessel

3] Cartilage is strong due to collagen fibres

4] resilient due to a gel matrix

3] Blood =

1] it is specialised type of connective tissue

2]it is bodily fluid in animals

3] It does not bind ,conect with any body network

4] Made up of blood cells & surrounded by nonliving fluid called blood plasma

4] Bone tissue = 1] either spongy or compact

2] Consists of large amount of 2 different types of matrix materials

3] contain collagen & elastin fibres

4] Inorganic matrix consists of salts mostly calcium gives tissue hardness

5] 3 types of cells are present in bones osteoblast .osteoclast & osteocyst
