Fibrous Connective Tissue

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Consists of fibers, cells, ground substance, and matrix   Connective Tissue  
🗑
These are the 3 main types of connective tissue fibers   Collagen, reticular, and elastic  
🗑
Contains proteoglycans, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin   Ground substance  
🗑
Made of type 3 collagen and visualized using silver salts   Reticular fibers  
🗑
Contain elastin and are responsible for the stretchiness of artery walls and lungs   Elastic fibers  
🗑
These are native connective tissue cells   Fibroblasts, adipocytes, and mesenchymal cells  
🗑
These are immigrant connective tissue cells   Macrophages, mast cells, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and leukcytes  
🗑
These cells synthesize the procollagen, elastin, and proteoglycans that make up the ground substance   fibroblasts  
🗑
Type(s) of collagen made by fibroblasts   1 and 3  
🗑
Type(s) of collagen made by chondrocytes   2  
🗑
These cells have their nucleus flattened against the plasma membrane and make leptin   Adipose cells  
🗑
These are the pluripotent cells that are precursors to fibroblasts and adipose cells   Mesenchymal cells  
🗑
These cells are filled with basophilic granules containing heparin, histamine, tryptase, and chymase   Mast cells  
🗑
You can recognize these cells by their clock-face nucleus   Plasma cells  
🗑
A form of loose connective tissue with type 3 collagen fibers that surrounds the functional units of epithelial organs   Reticular connective tissue  
🗑
Tendons belong to this type of connective tissue   Regular dense connective tissue  
🗑
