waynef2016 Lab 7 Connective, Muscle and Nerve Tissue
Objectives:
A. Study slides of and be able to identify and describe the following types of connective tissue and their component cells and inter-cellular materials. Remember that connective tissues are usually found between other tissue types, holding them together. Use your lecture notes and power point presentation and online lecture to help you with this exercise.
1. Connective Tissue Proper- predominant fiber is collagen
a. loose connective tissue- fibroblasts, collagen fibers, elastic fibers, adipocytes
1. Physical Characteristics ______
2. Functions (s)______

b. dense connective tissue
1. dense irregular (scalp) 2. dense regular (tendon) = white fibrous connective tissue. 3. elastic (aorta)- note that this is very different from elastic cartilage waynef2016 c. reticular fibers- form fine networks that hold organs together. The spleen is a good example
