Cartilage
Cartilage

A non-vascular form of connective tissue composed of CHONDROCYTES embedded in a matrix that includes CHONDROITIN SULFATE and various types of FIBRILLAR COLLAGEN. There are three major types

Elastic Cartilage
Elastic Cartilage

A type of CARTILAGE whose matrix contains ELASTIC FIBERS and elastic lamellae, in addition to the normal components of HYALINE CARTILAGE matrix. Elastic cartilage is found in the EXTERNAL EAR; EUSTACHIAN TUBE; EPIGLOTTIS; and LARYNX.

Fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage

A type of CARTILAGE whose matrix contains large bundles of COLLAGEN TYPE I. Fibrocartilage is typically found in the INTERVERTEBRAL DISK; PUBIC SYMPHYSIS; TIBIAL MENISCI; and articular disks in synovial JOINTS. (From Ross et. al., Histology, 3rd ed., p132,136)

Triangular Fibrocartilage
Triangular Fibrocartilage

Fibrocartilage that makes up the triangular fibrocartilage complex which is found in the WRIST JOINT.

Hyaline Cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage

A type of CARTILAGE characterized by a homogenous amorphous matrix containing predominately TYPE II COLLAGEN and ground substance. Hyaline cartilage is found in ARTICULAR CARTILAGE; LARYNGEAL CARTILAGES; and the NASAL SEPTUM.

Bone and Bones
Bone and Bones

A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principle cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.

Connective Tissue
Connective Tissue

Tissue that supports and binds other tissues. It consists of CONNECTIVE TISSUE CELLS embedded in a large amount of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX.

Adipose Tissue
Adipose Tissue

Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

Adipose Tissue, White
Adipose Tissue, White

Fatty tissue composed of WHITE ADIPOCYTES and generally found directly under the skin (SUBCUTANEOUS FAT) and around the internal organs (ABDOMINAL FAT). It has less vascularization and less coloration than the BROWN FAT. White fat provides heat insulation, mechanical cushion, and source of energy.

Abdominal Fat
Abdominal Fat

Fatty tissue in the region of the ABDOMEN. It includes the ABDOMINAL SUBCUTANEOUS FAT and the INTRA-ABDOMINAL FAT.

Intra-Abdominal Fat
Intra-Abdominal Fat

Fatty tissue inside the ABDOMINAL CAVITY, including visceral fat and retroperitoneal fat. It is the most metabolically active fat in the body and easily accessible for LIPOLYSIS. Increased visceral fat is associated with metabolic complications of OBESITY.

Subcutaneous Fat, Abdominal
Subcutaneous Fat, Abdominal

Fatty tissue under the SKIN in the region of the ABDOMEN.

Subcutaneous Fat
Subcutaneous Fat

Fatty tissue under the SKIN through out the body.

Haversian System
Haversian System

A circular structural unit of bone tissue. It consists of a central hole, the Haversian canal through which blood vessels run, surrounded by concentric rings, called lamellae.

Bony Callus
Bony Callus

The bony deposit formed between and around the broken ends of BONE FRACTURES during normal healing.

Bone Matrix
Bone Matrix

Periosteum
Periosteum

Elastic Tissue
Elastic Tissue

Connective tissue comprised chiefly of elastic fibers. Elastic fibers have two components

Granulation Tissue
Granulation Tissue

A vascular connective tissue formed on the surface of a healing wound, ulcer, or inflamed tissue. It consists of new capillaries and an infiltrate containing lymphoid cells, macrophages, and plasma cells.

Cicatrix
Cicatrix

The formation of new tissue in the process of wound healing.
