Lecture 1.2 Connective tissue; Cartilage and Bone
Jennifer Olson・2 minutes read
Various types of tissues in the human body, such as connective, epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissues, serve different functions and have distinct structures. Connective tissue includes components like cells, protein fibers, and ground substance, with different types like loose and dense connective tissues offering support and strength to the body's structures.
Insights
- Different types of tissues in the human body have distinct structures and functions, with connective tissue being the most diverse and widespread, supporting, protecting, and binding various structures together through cells, protein fibers, and ground substance.
- Bone tissue comprises compact and spongy bone, with osteocytes housed in lacunae and connected through canaliculi, allowing for communication and nutrient exchange, while bone formation and repair processes involve osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts to maintain bone integrity and strength.
