LYMPHOID TISSUE
This tissue has a semisolid matrix with fine
branching fibres, the cells are specialised
cells known as lymphocytes. Lymphoid tissue
is found in the lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils,
adenoids and vermiform appendix.
The bone tissue is the one of the hardest
connective tissues in the body. There are two
types of bone tissue; compact bone tissue
and cancellous bone tissue which will be
discussed in Locomotor system. The cells of
the bone are osteocytes
There are three main types of muscle tissue
described; striated or voluntary, smooth or
involuntary and cardiac muscle. These
different types of muscle tissue will be
discussed in detail in the muscular system.
There are two types of tissue found in the
nervous system;
Excitable cells- these are called neurones and
they initiate, receive, conduct and transmit
information
Non- excitable cells- also known as glial
cells, these support the neurones
The structure of the nervous system will be
described in detail in the chapter dealing with
the nervous system.
It is a much stronger tissue than any of the
other connective tissue; the cells of cartilage
are called chondrocytes and are less
numerous.
The cells are embedded in matrix reinforced
by collagen and elastic fibres. There are three
types; hyaline cartilage, fibro- cartilage and
elastic cartilage.
it appears as a smooth bluish white tissue
with solid and smooth matrix. Hyaline
provides flexibility, support and smooth
surfaces for movement at joints.
It is found on ends of long bones that form
joints
Forming the costal cartilages, which attach
the ribs to the sternum
Forming part of the larynx, trachea and
bronchi.
it consists of dense masses of white collagen fibres
in a matrix similar to that of hyaline cartilage
with the cells widely dispersed. It is tough,
slightly flexible, supporting tissue found;
As pads between the bodies of the vertebrae, the
intervertebral discs.
Between articulating surfaces of the bones of the
knee joint, called semilunar cartilage.
On the rim of bony sockets of the hip and
shoulder joints, deepening the cavities without
restricting movement
As ligaments joining bones.
it consists of flexible yellow elastic fibres
lying in a solid matrix. The chondrocytes lie
between the fibres.
