elastic tissue A form of connective tissue in which the elastic fibers predominate; it constitutes the ligamenta flava of the vertebrae and the ligamentum nuchae, especially of quadrupeds; it occurs also in the walls of the arteries and of the bronchial tree, and connects the cartilages of the larynx.

What is Connective Tissue? Connective tissue is one of the four traditionally classified types of biological tissue. There are many different kinds, and they mainly serve as structure and support, often connecting two other types of tissue to each other.oose connective tissue includes areolar, adipose, and reticular tissue. Areolar tissue is a mesh-like tissue with a fluid matrix that supports the epithelium, tissue that makes up the skin and other membranes.

Elastic fiber Elastic fibers (or yellow fibers) are bundles of proteins (elastin) found in extracellular matrix of connective tissue and produced by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in arteries. These fibers can stretch up to 1.5 times their length, and snap back to their original length when relaxed.

Loose connective tissue Areolar tissue (/əˈriːɵlər/) is a common type of loose connective tissue (and the most widely distributed type of connective tissue in vertebrates). It is so named because its fibers are far enough apart to leave ample open space for interstitial fluid in between (areola is Latin for a little open space).or other uses, see areola (disambiguation) . Loose connective tissue is a category of connective tissue which includes areolar tissue, reticular tissue, and adipose tissue. Loose connective tissue is the most common type of connective tissue in vertebrates.

- Areolar Tissue is loose connective tissue that consists of a meshwork of collagen, elastic tissue, and reticular fibres-with many connective tissue cells in between the meshwork of fibres. The fibres that form the mesh structure of areolar tissue include: 1  Collagen Fibres. 2  Elastic Fibres. 3  Reticular Fibres.

- a) Areolar (Loose) Connective Tissue (Slide #31) Areolar connective tissue is the most widespread connective tissue of the body. It is used to attach the skin to the underlying tissue. It also fills the spaces between various organs and thus holds them in place as well as cushions and protects them. It also surrounds and supports the blood vessels.

- Elastic fibers (or yellow fibers) are bundles of proteins (elastin) found in extracellular matrix of connective tissue and produced by fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells in arteries.These fibers can stretch up to 1.5 times their length, and snap back to their original length when relaxed.he elastic fiber is formed from the elastic microfibril (consisting of numerous proteins such as microfibrillar-associated glycoproteins, fibrillin, fibullin, and the elastin receptor) and amorphous elastin.

Muscle tissue Muscle tissue is a soft tissue that composes muscles in animal bodies, and gives rise to muscles' ability to contract. This is opposed to other components or tissues in muscle such as tendons or perimysium.It is formed during embryonic development through a process known as myogenesis.hus, muscle tissue can be described as being one of three different types: 1  Skeletal muscle, striated in structure and under voluntary control, is anchored by tendons (or by aponeuroses at a few places) to bone and is used to effect skeletal movement such as locomotion and to maintain posture.

Little intercellular substance is present. Furthermore, in this tissue type, the fibres are organized in a regular, parallel pattern (Figure 12).

- Osseous Tissue. Osseous tissue or bone is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. The matrix of bone contains abundant collagen fibers and these impart strength, some flex, and resistance to twisting or torsional forces.sseous tissue forms the variety of bones that make up the skeletal system. As such, osseous tissue directly or indirectly contributes to some very important body functions that include: support-for muscles, organs, and soft tissues.

connective tissue connective tissue in Medicine. connective tissue con·nec·tive tissue (kə-něk'tĭv) n. The supporting or framework tissue of the body, arising chiefly from the embryonic mesoderm and including collagenous, elastic and reticular fibers, adipose tissue, cartilage, and bone. Also called interstitial tissue.

Tissue (biology) Microscopic view of a histologic specimen of human lung tissue stained with hematoxylin and eosin. In biology, tissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organ. A tissue is an ensemble of similar cells from the same origin that together carry out a specific function. Organs are then formed by the functional grouping together of multiple tissues. The study of tissue is known as histology or, in connection with disease, histopathology.

- These 10 animal facts will amaze you. Epimysium is a type of connective tissue that completely surrounds and encases muscles in humans and many animals. It acts as a sort of buffer that protects muscles from rubbing into bones or other muscular fibers, and promotes smooth movement in the limbs and most joints.

Connective tissue Connective tissue (CT) is one of the four types of biological tissue that support, connect, or separate different types of tissues and organs in the body. The other three types are epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue.ll connective tissue apart from blood and lymph consists of three main components: fibers (elastic and collagenous fibers), ground substance and cells. (Not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue.) Blood and lymph lack the fiber component. All are immersed in the body water.

Tissues and Organs Connective tissue is the tough, often fibrous tissue that binds the body's structures together and provides support and elasticity. It is present in almost every organ, forming a large part of skin, tendons, joints, ligaments, blood vessels, and muscles.ach organ is a recognizable structure (for example, the heart, lungs, liver, eyes, and stomach) that performs specific functions. An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells (see Cells).
