In our body there are several types of connective tissues, and the main function of all of them is to give support to other fabrics. To better understand, let's know the cells that are part of these tissues?
⇒fibroblasts – are cells found in all connective tissues that have few fibers. These fabrics that have few fibers are called loose fabrics and are found throughout the body.
⇒ Macrophages – as well as the fibroblasts, are found in the loose fabrics. They act as soldiers in our body, eliminating all microorganisms that invade our body.
⇒ plasma cells – are also found in the loose fabrics. Its main function is produce antibodies to fight microorganisms.
⇒ mast cells – also found in loose fabrics, release substances that stimulate allergic reactions in our body.
⇒ adipocytes – also called fat cells, are found in the adipose tissue, that tissue where fat accumulates. Adipose tissue is one of the connective tissues.
⇒ Chondroblasts – are found in the cartilages of our body. O cartilage tissue it is found in our cartilage, such as our ear, nose, trachea, etc.
⇒ osteoblasts – cells found in the bone tissue, fabric that forms our bones and that it is also a type of connective tissue.
All of these cells are part of some type of connective tissue found in our body:
- adipose tissue
- Cartilaginous tissue
- Bone tissue
- Hematopoietic tissue
All these fabrics will be studied in other articles to facilitate understanding and learning.
