216721991Endocrineductless glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
216721992Merocrineexocrine glands that secrete without losing cellular material
216721993Apocrineexocrine glands that have cytoplasm in their secretions
216721994Holocrineexocrine glands whose secretions are made up of disintegrated cells
217760125Extracellular Matrixthe chemical substances located between connective tissue cells
217760126Loose Connectivetissue that is used for light duty binding (under the skin)
217760127Dense Irregulartissue that has strength in all directions (lower layer of the skin)
217760128Dense Regularconnective tissue made from collagen fibers that run in the same direction providing tensile strength and can be found in tendons and ligaments

217760135Synovial MembraneLoose, connective tissue that lines the joint cavity (they lubricate joints)
217760136Serous Membranecover the organs on the trunk cavities and line the trunk cavities (they lubricate organs so they can move against each other)
217760137Stromalcells that provide structure or support for parenchymal cells
217760138Parenchymalcells that provide the actual function of the tissue
217760139Labilecells that undergo mitosis regularly and quickly
217760140Stablecells that do not regularly undergo mitosis but are able to if the need arises
217760141Permanentcells that cannot undergo mitosis
220839431FibroblastsSpindle-shaped cells that form connective tissue proper
