This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Mammalian Tissues, Mammalian Body Tissues Types CONNECTIVE TISSUE, Soft connective tissue types Adipose, simple types Squamous, agranular 2 types lymphocyte, White fibrous Characteristics 1. Shape - closely packed collagen fibres in parallel rows 2. Found - tendons, layer surrounding long bones 3. Function - strength and elasticity for support, Cartilage tissue Types Yellow Elastic, CONNECTIVE TISSUE Common Features 1. Elastic 2. Support, joins tissues and fills 3. Originats from the mesoderm layer 4. Homogenous matrix that varies in hardness, Circulatory connective tissue types Blood cells, Mammalian Body Tissues Types Epithelial, Epithelial DIVIDED INTO simple, granular 3 types Neutrophil, Dense connective tissue types White fibrous, 5 Types C Cartilage tissue, Ciliated characteristics 1. Shape - coloumnar 2. Found - nasal cavity, fallopian tubes, ventricles of brain 3. Function - move particles 4. Adaptation - cilia to increase surface area and move particles (cilia - hairlike outgrowth) interspersed with goblet cells (secrete mucus), simple types Cuboidal, Yellow elastic Characteristics 1. Shape - dense network of elastic fibres (yellow) 2. Found - Ligaments, air passages 3. Function - holding bones in joints, support air passages, Stratified Characteristics 1. Shape - top - Squamous Lower - Cuboidal Multilayerd 2. Found- Dry surfaces eg. Skin, Hair, Nails. ie. Upper layer is dead Wet surfaces - living, non-keratinised cells - Mouth lining, Pharynx 3. Function - Protection - Micro-organisms, Desiccation 4. Adaptations - Dead cells contain keratin, Living cells do not., Soft Bone Characteristics 1. Shape - spongy 2. Found - head of long bones, honeycomg arrangement 3. Function - production of osteoblasts and blood cells, Soft connective tissue types Areolar, 5 Types A Soft connective tissue
