Connective tissue is the tissue that connects or separates, and supports all the other types of tissues in the body. Like all tissue types, it consists of cells surrounded by a compartment of fluid called the extracellular matrix (ECM). However connective tissue differs from other types in that its cells are loosely, rather than tightly, packed within the ECM.

Tissue Definition
Tissues are groups of cells that have a similar structure and act together to perform a specific function. The word tissue comes from a form of an old French verb meaning “to weave”. There are four different types of tissues in animals: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial. In plants, tissues are divided into three types: vascular, ground, and epidermal. Groups of tissues make up organs in the body such as the brain and heart.
Types of Animal Tissues
Connective
Connective tissue connects or separates groups of other tissues. It is found in between all the other tissues and organs in the body. Connective tissue is made up of cells and ground substance, which is a gel that surrounds cells. Most connective tissue, except for lymph and blood, also contains fibers, which are long, narrow proteins. Fibers can be collagenous, which bind bones to tissues; elastic, which allow organs like the lungs to move; or reticular, which provide physical support to cells. Connective tissue also allows oxygen to diffuse from blood vessels into cells.
About 1 in 10 people are have a disorder involving connective tissue. Some connective tissue disorders include sarcomas, Marfan syndrome, lupus, and scurvy, which is a Vitamin C deficiency that leads to fragile connective tissue.
Muscle
Muscle tissue comprises all the muscles in the body, and the specialized nature of the tissue is what allows muscles to contract. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle anchors tendons to bones and allows the body to move. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and contracts to pump blood. Smooth muscle is found in the intestines, where it helps move food through the digestive tract, and it is also found in other organs like blood vessels, the uterus, and the bladder. Skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated; this means that they contain sarcomeres (a unit of muscle tissue) that are arranged in a uniform pattern. Smooth muscle does not have sarcomeres.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an example of a muscle tissue disorder. It is an inherited disorder that causes muscles to atrophy over time. The muscles shorten as they atrophy, which can cause scoliosis and immobile joints. Individuals with the disorder are usually male because the gene responsible for it is found on the X chromosome (of which males have only one).
Nervous
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, which are all parts of the nervous system. It is made up of neurons, which are nerve cells, and neuroglia, which are cells that help nerve impulses travel. Nervous tissue is grouped into four types: gray matter and white matter in the brain, and nerves and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. The main difference between gray and white matter is that axons of the neurons in gray matter are unmyelinated, while white matter is myelinated. Myelin is a white, fatty substance that insulates neurons and

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
3. Introduction
What is Connective tissue ?
• Connective tissue is the term applied to a tissue – that
fills the interstices between more specialized elements;
and serves to hold them together and support them. That
is why it is also k/a Support tissue .
• The connective tissue is the most abundant and
widespread tissue in the body.
4. Lets take an idea of what CT is……
1. When we section a salivary gland epithelium lined acini
and duct are seen under microscope.
Filling the interstices between these elements is a
connective tissue, forming its stroma.
It provides support to delicate epithelial cells.
Secretory elements are held together by CT (mainly
reticular fibers).
5.
6. 2. During dissection when skin is lifted off from underlying
tissues, two are seen to be united by a delicate network of
fibers.
This network is superficial fascia, which is an example of
connective tissue.
7.
8. 3. An epithelium lined mucosa is separated by short
distance from thick layer of muscles.
This interval b/w mucosa and muscle is filled by connective
tissue, which constitutes submucosa.
This CT holds the various layers in the wall of hollow
organs together.

• (Abundant cytoplasm; prominent nucleoli; ER, golgi complex,
mitochondria more conspicuous)
• Become active – when collage is needed. Eg- Wound repair
44. Mature Fibroblasts are Specialized cells ; cannot convert themselves
to other cell types.
45. Myofibroblasts- When cells resembling fibroblasts
contain actin and myosin and are present in association
with smooth muscles, with contractile function are k/a
Myofibroblast.
Help in retraction and shrinkage of scar.
48. Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
• Embryonic CT is k/a
mesenchyme.
• Made up of small cells
with slender branching.
• Various elements of
mature CT are derived
from them.
• Persist as such and these
are the cells from which
other types of cells are
formed when required,
unlike fibroblast.
49. ARE MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS
(MSCS) TRUE STEM CELLS?
MSCs have great potential and clinical significance for tissue
engineering. They are adult multipotent cells capable of
differentiating to different types of tissues.
• MSCs are commonly known as “multi-lineage cells” because of
their wide range of potential applications.
• They are known to regenerate structure and connective tissues, repair
bones and cartilage
• Stimulate angiogenesis (after heart attacks)
• Reduce inflammation and scarring through their immunomodulatory
properties.
• They can also be found in adipose tissue, amnion, synovial fluids,
muscles, dermis, deciduous teeth, and umbilical cord tissue.
51. Pigment cells
Easily distinguishable because of brown pigment in their cytoplasm.
Many cells contain the pigment
• Those which actually synthesize melanin - Melanocytes
• Those that engulfed pigment released by melanocytes -
Chromatophores or Melanophores
Pigment epithelial cells, skin, iris etc.
Function – Prevent light (specially UV light) from reaching other
cells ; Provide differences in skin color.
Clinical Significance – Depicts the areas of healing as a result of
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
54. Fat cells
Small amount of fat (lipids) may be present in cytoplasm of many
cells, including fibroblasts.
Some cells store fat in larger amounts and become distended.
These cells are k/a fat cells ; adipocytes ; lipocytes .
Aggregation of fat cells constitute – Adipose tissue.
60. Can be seen in normal CT.
Specially numerous when tissue undergoes (chronic) inflammation.
Ability to recognize the substances that are foreign to host body i.e.
differentiate between self and non-self.
Thus create antibodies to destroy the invaders.
62. Plasma cells

• Also k/a mastocytes or histaminocytes.
• Release histamine, associated with production of allergic reactions.
• Surface of mast cells contain antibodies (IgE), react with the antigen,
rupture to discharge histamine – producing local reactions like
urticaria, anaphylaxis etc
70. GROUND SUBSTANCE
• Colorless, transparent and homogenous matrix.
• Fills the space between cells and fibers of the CT.
• It is viscous and acts as medium of transport and also as a
barrier to the penetration of the tissues by foreign particles.
• Hold large amount of water.
• Formed mainly by two classes of components:
• Glycosaminoglycans
• Structural glycoproteins (Adhesion proteins)
Retained water and proteoglycans together form gel – that
provides stiffness to CT.

76. Blood is calledthe riverof life.
Specialized connective tissue.
Average 70 kg man has almost 5L of blood.
Blood has 2 main components :
• Plasma
• Cellular elements –
RBC
WBC
Platelets
77. Functions of blood
• Respiration: transport of O2 and CO2.
• Transport: hormone, nutrients, metabolic waste.
• Excretion of metabolic wastes to the kidney, lungs and skin.
• Regulation of body temperature by distribution of
body heat.
• Defense against infections (WBCs, antibodies).
• Maintenance of acid-base balance.
• Nutrition: transport of absorbed food material.
78. Physical properties of blood
• Specific gravity:-Whole blood:1.055 -1.065 kg/m³
• Viscosity: 5-6 times that of water.
• Mass: 6-8% of the body weight.
• Blood volume:~ 8%of body weight.~ 86% (ml/kg
body weight).
5-6 Liters in adults, [Infants have a larger blood volume
in proportion to body weight than adults].
• Osmotic pressure: 7-8 atmosphere at body temperature
79. Color of blood
• Generally , blood is red in color due to a pigment
present in blood called haemoglobin.
• Arterial blood is scarlet red while venous blood is
purple red.
• pH of blood is 7.4
81. Composition of blood
• Blood consists of several types of cells floating around in
a fluid called plasma.
1. The red blood cells (RBCs) contain haemoglobin, a
protein that binds oxygen. RBCs transport oxygen and
remove carbon dioxide from the tissues.
2. The white blood cells fight infection.
3. The platelets help the blood to clot.
4. The plasma contains salts and various kinds of
proteins .
82.
83. Other constituents are -
• Plasma proteins –albumin , globulin and fibrinogen.
• Carbohydrates – glucose
• Non protein substances –creatin, creatinine, xanthine,
hypoxanthine, urea and uric acid.
• Enzymes and antibodies .
• Inorganic substances – K , M, Cl, I, Fe and phosphate.
• Gases –oxygen , carbondioxide.
85. PLASMA
• 90% water
• contains nutrients, electrolytes, plasma proteins, respiratory gases,
hormones, waste products etc.
86.
87. Function of plasma
• Help in coagulation of blood- fibrinogen
• Defense mechanism- gamma globulin
• Transport of hormones – albumin and globulin
• Maintain acid base balance in blood
• Provide viscosity to blood
93. Plasma half life of RBCs = 120 +_4 days
Plasma half life of transfused RBCs = 42 days
Destroyed in – Spleen (graveyard of RBCs)
Red pigment – Haemoglobin
Mature RBC – lack nucleus
94. Erythropoiesis
In the early
fetus, erythropoiesis takes place in the
mesodermal cells of the yolk sac.
By the third or fourth
month, erythropoiesis moves to the
liver.
After seven
months, erythropoiesis occurs in the
bone marrow
95. Haemoglobin
• Iron-containing protein that binds strongly, but reversibly to oxygen.
• Each hemoglobin molecule has four oxygen binding sites .
• Each erythrocyte has 250 million hemoglobin molecules.
• Normal blood contains 12–18 g of hemoglobin per 100mL blood.
96. Structure of Hb has two main components
1. Heme
Aporphyrin with an Fe in the center.
Porphyrin rings are found throughout biological systems and serve many
different roles including photosynthesis in green plants, delivering O2 in
muscles (myoglobin) and transporting O2 in blood (hemoglobin).
2. Globin
Globin is the protein (polypeptide) surrounding the heme.
Nomenclature:
globin + heme(Fe2+) = hemoglobin
globin + heme(Fe3+) = methemoglobin
The overall structure of haemoglobin consists of four chains -
two alfa and two beta chains
99. White blood cells (Leucocyte)
White blood corpuscles or leucocytes are mobile force or soldiers of
the body because they migrate to the site of injury and infection,and
fight with invading microbes.
They perform their action by –
1. Scavenging
2. Diapedesis (amoeboid movement)
3. Pus formation
4. Phagocytosis
5. Formation of antibodies

and help to break down bacteria. chronic inflammation)
• 2.Lymphocytes: They create antibodies to defend against bacteria,
viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders. (chronic inflammation)
103. • 3.Neutrophils: They kill and digest bacteria and fungi. They are the most
numerous type of white blood cell and your first line of defense when
infection strikes. (acute inflammation)
• 4.Basophils: These small cells appear to sound an alarm when infectious
agents invade your blood. They secrete chemicals such as histamine, a
marker of allergic disease, that help control the body's immune response.
• 5.Eosinophils: They attack and kill parasites, destroy cancer cells, and help
with allergic responses.
105. Platelets
• Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are a component of blood whose function
(along with the coagulation factors) is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury
by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.
• Platelets have NO cell nucleus: they are fragments of cytoplasm that are derived from
the megakaryocytes of the bone marrow, and then enter the circulation.
• Circulating inactivated platelets are biconvex discoid (lens-shaped) structures,2–
3 µm in greatest diameter.
• Activated platelets have cell membrane projections covering their surface. Platelets
are found only in mammals, whereas in other animals (e.g. birds, amphibians)
thrombocytes circulate as intact mononuclear cells
• Half life 7-11 days.

107. Functions of platelets
1.platelets are responsible for wound healing
2.platelets attach to the exposed vessel
3.platelets change fibrinogen into fibrin
•this fibrin creates a mesh onto which red blood cells collect
and clot
•the clot stops more blood from leaving the body
4.prevents bacteria from entering the body.
108. Hemostasis
• Hemostasis or haemostasis is a process which causes bleeding to
stop, meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel
(the opposite of hemostasis is hemorrhage)
• It is the first stage of wound healing. This involves coagulation, blood
changing from a liquid to a gel.
109.
110. Coagulation
• Coagulation is clotting of blood.
• Injured tissues release tissue factor (TF) .
• Prothrombin activator converts prothrombin to thrombin (an enzyme) .
• Thrombin joins fibrinogen proteins into hair- like molecules of insoluble fibrin
• Fibrin forms a meshwork (the basis for a clot).
• Blood usually clots within 3 to 6 minutes .
113. Extrinsic pathway
• It initiates upon the introduction of cells, particularly
crushed or injured tissue, blood coagulation is activated
and a fibrin clot is rapidly formed.
• The pathway of blood coagulation activated by tissue
factor, a protein extrinsic to blood, is known as the
extrinsic pathway or tissue factor pathway.
114. Intrinsic pathway
• It initiates when injury occurs directly to blood vessel.
• the proteins required for such clotting to take place are
part of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation.
• Each protein circulates in the blood in an active form.
115. Bleeding time (BT)
• Bleeding time is the interval between the moment when bleeding starts and
the moment when bleeding stops.
• Bleeding time is prolonged in purpuras, but normal in coagulation
disorders like haemophilia.
• Bleeding time is noted as in Duke’s method.
A standard filter paper should be used every 30 seconds to draw off it until
the blood completely stops.
• The normal BT values run in the range of 2-9 minutes. The risk of
bleeding increases with BT values more than 10 minutes Normal bleeding
time is to 4 minutes.
117. Clotting time (CT)
• Clotting time is the interval between the moment when bleeding
starts and the moment when the fibrin thread is first seen.
• Normal range is 8 - 15 minutes.
• Vitamin K dependent factors are 2 , 7, 9 and 10, which help in
coagulation of blood.
119. Prothrombin time (PT)
• The prothrombin time (PT) test measures how well and
how long it takes your blood to clot.
• It normally takes about 25 to 30 seconds.
• It may take longer if you take blood thinners.
• PT indicates total quantity of prothrombin
present in blood.
120. Lysis of clot
• Lysis of blood clot inside the blood vessel – Fibrinolysis
• Plasma protein –euglobulin called plasminogen
(profibrinolysin) when activated become plasmin
(fibrinolysin)
• Plasmin digests fibrin fibers as well as coagulant factors I,II, V,
VIII and XII
121. Dry socket
• A dry socket is a condition that may result after a tooth
extraction if the blood clot that normally fills the socket is lost.
• The dry socket leaves underlying nerves exposed, which is very
painful.
122. Undesirable Clotting - :
• Thrombus - A clot in an unbroken blood vessel. Can be
deadly in areas like the heart .
• Embolus - A thrombus thatbreaks away and floats freely in
the bloodstream. Can later clog vessels in critical areas such as
the brain .
123. When an air bubble enters a vein, it's called venous air embolism.
When an air bubble enters an artery, it's called an arterial air embolism.
These air bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a
heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure.
Air embolisms are rather rare and fatal.
Thus always remove air bubble from syringe before injecting
124. Blood transfusion
• The AB0 and Rhesus (Rh) systems - used for blood
transfusion.
• Antibodies that are specific at detecting a particular ABO
antigen are on RBCs.
125.
126. Normal values
• RBC COUNT-
Men : 4- 5 millions / mm³
Women : 4.5million / mm³
Total number of red cells = 4 – 5 millions / mm³
• WBC COUNT -
Men and women - 4000 – 11000/ mm³
• PLATELETS :
Men and women – 2,50,000-5,00,000/ mm³
• Hb -
Men - 14 –16 g/l
Women - 12 –16 g / l
130. Conclusion
• The Blood is called a fluid Connective Tissue.
.
• Blood is considered a connective tissue for two basic
reasons:
(1) embryologically, it has the same origin (mesodermal) as
do the other connective tissue types and
(2) blood connects the body systems together bringing the
needed oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other signaling
molecules, and removing the wastes.
