CARTILAGE chondro Considered to be a specialised connective tissue Tissue is Low blood supply Low oxygen supply Limited healing of cartilage (ALL CARTILAGE IS avascular) Most things heal because blood supply is running through it bringing nutrients to it Cartilage use absorption method Nutrients come in and out of it but not through blood vessels that run through it 3 types: (VITAL) 1. Tendons Ligaments Loose Connective Tissue Frameworks for storage, immunity and binding e. CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROPER (CTP) fibro Dense Connective Tissue Flexible structures with great resistance to tension e. Reticular Thin, delicate networks (e Soft Tissue) like a spider web Ground Substance Fibres Extracellular matrix Cells Each major class of CT has a fundamental cell type o Immature o Mature TYPES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE CTP CARTILAGE BONE BLOOD 1. Elastic Strength and recoil (ability to return to original shape blood vessels) 3.
