connective tissue
Question | Answer |
---|---|
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 |
Protein fibers do what | Strengthen and support the tissue |
3 Protein Fibers | Collagen , Reticular , Elastic fibers |
A protein fiber that is unbrancehd, strong , flexible and resistant to stretching, is a long protein fiber and is numerous in tendons and ligaments | Collagen Fibers |
A protein fiber that is branching and interwoven, tough and flexible, like collagen but thinner | Reeticular Fibers |
A protein fiber thatstretches and recoils easily , returns to normal shape after being stretched | Elastic Fibers |
Noncellular material produced by connective tissue cells, where the connective tissue and protein fiber are housed, can be blood , cartilage, bone, | Ground Substance |
A polysaccharide that is made up of carbohydrate building blocks, Negatively charged and absorbs water, Hydrophilic | GAG, Glycosaminoglycans |
When an GAG is linked to a protein it is called, acts as the glue to bond connective tissue cells and fiber to the ground substance | Proteoglycan |
2 types of connective tissue proper | Loose and Dense connective tissues |
3 types of Loose connective tissue proper | Areolar, Adipose, Reticular |
3 types of Dense connnective tissue proper | Dense regular, Dense Irregular , and Elastic |
2 types of Supporting connective tissue | Cartilage and Bone |
3 types of cartilage | Hyaline, Fibrocartilage, Elastic |
2 types of bone | Compact and Spongy |
2 types of Fluid connective tissue | Blood and Lymph |
