Transcript of Dense Connective Tissue Regular vs Irregular. Dense Irregular CT = dermis.
Dense Connective Tissue
Regular vs Irregular
Dense Irregular CT = dermis
Fibroblasts with
collagen fibers (red) in different
planes
Dense Irregular CT = dermis
Dense Regular CT = tendon
Parallel bundles of collagen (pink) with aligned fibroblasts
Dense Regular CT = ligament
Parallel bundles of collagen (pink) with elastin fibers (ribbon candy) and non-aligned fibroblasts
Dense Connective Tissue
Cartilage
Low mag of hyaline cartilage
High mag of hyaline cartilage – cells in lacunae in amorphous matrix
TEM of chondrocyte
Elastic cartilage – dark purple fibers in matrix
High mag of elastic cartilage
Low mag of fibrocartilage between two pieces of bone
High mag of fibrocartilage – aligned cells with bundles of collagen

Joints
Diagram of intervertebral joints
Intervertebral joint – NP = nucleus pulposa; AF = annulus fibrosa; A =articular cartilage
Diagram of a synovial joint
Synovial joint – C = articular cartilage; Cp = joint capsule; S = synovial membrane; E = ligament
Synovial joint – articular
cartilage (AC)
