QuestionAnswer
Most abundant resident cell in connective tissue proper, produces the fibers and ground substances component of the extracellular matrix Fibroblast cells
Called fat cells , Adipoctes
A type of embryonic stem cell, Where connective tissue orginates Mesenchyme cells
Called Monocytes, large and irregular shaped , derived from white blood cells Fixed Macrophages cells
4 Residents cells Mesenchyme, Macrophage, Adipocyte, Fibroblast cells
3 components of connective tissues Cells, Protein Fibers, and Ground Substance
The ground substance and the protein fibers in it form what Extracellular Matrix
Cells that continuously move throughout the connective tissue proper and are components of the immune system Wandering cells
Types of wandering cells Mast, Plasma, Free Macrophages, and other Leukocytes
