Regular
Dense connective tissue is characterized by an abundance of fibres
with fewer cells, as compared to the loose connective tissue. It is
also called fibrous or collagenous connective tissue because of the
abundance of collagen (collagenous) fibres. Little intercellular
substance is present. Furthermore, in this tissue type, the fibres
are organized in a regular, parallel pattern (Figure 12). Hence, the
name ± dense regular (fibrous or collagenous) connective tissue.
Irregular
Dense irregular connective tissue consists predominantly of
randomly arranged collagen fibers and a few fibroblasts. Dense
irregular connective tissue provides strength
Elastic
Elastic connective tissue consists predominantly of free branching
elastic fibers; fibroblasts are present in spaces between fibers.
Elastic connective tissue allows stretching of various organs.
Hyaline
Hyaline cartilage consists of a bluish-white, shiny ground substance
with fine collagen fibers and many chondrocytes, most abundant of
cartilage. Hyaline cartilage provides smooth surfaces for movement
at joints, as well as flexibility and support.

Reticular connective tissue is named for the reticular fibers which are
the main structural part of the tissue. The cells that make the
reticular fibers are fibroblasts called reticular cells. Reticular
connective tissue forms a scaffolding for other cells in several
organs, such as lymph nodes and bone marrow. You will never see
reticular connective tissue alone--there will always be other cells
scattered among the reticular cells and reticular fibers.

Notes / Description / Size
This slide shows loose (areolar) connective tissue, which is used
extensively throughout the body for fastening down the skin,
membranes, vessels and nerves as well as binding muscles and
other tissues together. The tissue consist of an extensive network of
fibers secreted by cells called fibroblasts. The most numerous of
these fibers are the thicker, lightly-staining collagenous fibers.
Thinner, dark-staining elastic fibers composed of the protein elastin
can also be seen.

Smooth muscle is abundant throughout the internal organs of the
body especially in regions such as the digestive tract.As its
contraction is not under conscious nervous control, it is referred to
as involuntary muscle. Smooth muscle fibres are spindle-shaped
structures with a prominent centrally located nucleus.In
comparison with skeletal muscle fibres, they are much shorter in
length and they do not exhibit striations.The cells occur as
individual fibres within organs or as groups of fibres closely
interlaced in sheets or bands.
Illustration of contracting smooth muscle
w
Cardiac muscle is a highly specialized tissue restricted to the wall
of the heart.It is also an involuntary type of muscle, as its
contraction is not consciously controlled. Unlike smooth or striated
fibres, cardiac fibres tend to form long chains of cells which branch
and intertwine. This arrangement results in the peculiar "wringing"
action of the heart. The junction of one cell with another in a
particular chain is known as an intercalated disc and appears as a
heavy dark line running across the fibre. Each cell has a somewhat
cylindrical shape with one centrally-located, oval nucleus. Crossstriations are apparent but they are not as regular nor as prominent
as those of skeletal muscle.

Skeletal muscles form the "flesh"; sometimes referred to as the
"red meat" of an animal's body.They are attached to, and result in,
the movement of the bones of the skeleton. A typical skeletal muscle
cell is a highly modified, giant, multi-nucleate cell (fibre). Each
fibre is cylindrical in shape with blunt, rounded ends. The flattened
nuclei are located mainly at the periphery of the cell, just inside the
sarcolemma.The "cross-striped" (or striated) appearance of light
and dark banding results from the arrangement of myofibrils, small
protein contractile units embedded in the sarcoplasm.

Glial cells, commonly called neuroglia or simply glia, are one of two
major classes of cells in neural tissues, the other being neurons, for
which the glial cells provide support. Glial cells surround neurons,
hold them in place, provide nutrition (nutrients and oxygen), help
maintain homeostasis, provide electrical insulation, destroy
pathogens, regulate neuronal repair and the removal dead neurons,
and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system.

Simple Squamous Epithelium consists of a single layer of flattened
cells. Allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites
where protection is not important; Secretes lubricating substances in
serosae.

Ependymal cells are cuboidal to columnar cells arranged in a single
layer that possess microvilli and cilia. They help form and distribute
CSF.

Transitional epithelium has a variable appearance; shape of cells in
apical layer ranges from squamous to cuboidal. It permits distention.

Pseudostratified epithelium is not a true stratified tissue, nuclei of
cells are at different levels; all cells are attached to basement
membrane, but not all reach the apical surface. Pseudostratified
epitheliums function is secretion and movement of mucus by ciliary
action.
