Lung- inhale or exhale. It is highly elastic and present in connective tissue allowing many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting.

Function of elastic connective tissue. Furthermore what is the function of elastic fibers in connective tissue. Elastic fibers allow connective tissue to stretch and recoil. The walls of large arteries contain high concentrations of elastin fibers that allow them to stretch during systole and contract during diastole.
Elastin is the main functional component of elastic fibers. Additionally what is the location of elastic connective tissue. What is the main function of elastic connective tissue.
Elastic fibers are long thin and highly retractile. Elastin as its name implies provides elasticity and extensibility to the dermis and assists in recovery from deformation. Keeping this in consideration what is the main function of elastic connective tissue.
These fibers hold connective tissues together even during the movement of the body. Elastic fiber contains the protein elastin along with lesser amounts of other proteins and glycoproteins. Elastic connective tissue is a modified dense connective tissue that contains numerous elastic fibers in addition to collagen fibers which allows the tissue to return to its original length after stretching Figure 410.
The lungs and arteries have a layer of elastic connective. Elastic connective tissue is a technical term for body tissue that contains a large amount of elastin one of the proteins that make up connective tissue in general. Elastin is the protein that allows for tissue to regain its shape after being compressed or warped.
The elasticity flexibility and strength of the connective tissues are due to fibres. The function and types of connective tissues depend on the nature of the intercellular substance present. Connective tissues contain three types of fibres.
Collagen elastic and reticular. It is highly elastic and present in connective tissue allowing many tissues in the body to resume their shape after stretching or contracting. Elastin helps skin to return to its original position when it is poked or pinched.
Connective tissue bind cells other forms of tissues and organs in a way which provides mechanical support strength integrity and form to structures found within the body Delforge 2002. Finally connective tissue is composed of 3 primary structural constituents including cells fibers and ground substance Delforge 2002. The function of connective tissue is either to join bodily structures like bones and muscles to one another or hold tissues like muscles tendons or even organs in their proper place in the body.
It also gives reinforcement to joints strengthening and supporting the articulations between bones. There are four basic tissue types defined by their morphology and function. Epithelial tissue connective tissue muscle tissue and nervous tissue.
Epithelial tissue creates protective boundaries and is involved in the diffusion of ions and molecules. Connective tissue underlies and supports other tissue types. Elastic connective tissue refers to the dense connective tissue which contains numerous elastin fibers.
This type of connective tissue also contains collagen fibers and cells called fibroblasts. The main function of elastic connective tissue is to provide extensibility and elasticity. Function of elastic fibers in connective tissue.
These properties are critical to the function of arteries which undergo repeated cycles of extension and recoil and to lungs skin and all other dynamic connective tissues. Tapping mode atomic force microscopy TMAFM of isolated fibrillin-rich. The connective tissuedense It is a type of connective or connective tissue that like other connective tissues functions in the support support and protection of the body of animals.
Connective tissues as their name indicates are tissues that serve as a connection with other tissues especially with epithelial tissue with muscle and with nervous tissue providing structural support. Function of elastic connective tissue Allow stretching of various organs for example. Lung- inhale or exhale.
After stretching recoil to original shape of organ. Elastic connective tissue consists mainly of elastic fibers in the extracellular matrix which provides considerable extension and recoil to the tissue. The tissue is composed of few cells and a large number of elastic fibers secreted by fibroblasts.
Connective tissues fill the spaces between other tissues and form organs. In histological slides we usually see connective tissues between layers of other tissues for example between the epithelium and a layer of muscle in the wall of a hollow organ like the stomach or intestines. Major functions of connective tissue include.
1 binding and supporting 2 protecting 3 insulating 4 storing reserve fuel and 5 transporting substances within the body. Connective tissues can have various levels of vascularity. Cartilage is avascular while dense connective tissue is poorly vascularized.
Chapter 20 Structure and function of connective tissue Abstract Section 2 of the basic science Tr Orth syllabus is a large topic difficult to grasp at face value as it appears quite removed from the average orthopaedic surgeons practice. Of course there are some places where there are breaks in the dense regular connective tissue of the tendon containing loose connective tissue associated with nerves and blood vessels or the occasional bit of adipose tissue.
