connective tissue

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
mostly non-living extracellular matrix   characteristic of connective tissue  
🗑
ground substance (matrix) - unstructured material that fills the space between the cells and contains the fibers composed of interstitial fluid, cell adhesion (glue) proteins and proteoglycans (protein core with glycosaminoglycans attached)   characteristic of connective tissue  
🗑
3 types of fibers what are they?   elastic fibers, reticular fibers, and collagen fibers.  
🗑
tough, high tensile strength, white fibers, cross linked bundles   collagen fibers  
🗑
fine collagenous fibers, extensive branching, surround blood vessels and support soft organ tissues   reticular fibers  
🗑
long, thin, form branching networks, stretch and recoil because of elastin, yellow fibers   elastic fibers  
🗑
types of cells in matrix composition   clasts,blasts,& cytes  
🗑
are cells that breakdown the matrix   clasts  
🗑
are immature cells that are actively mitotic and secrete the ground substances and fibers   blasts  
🗑
mature cells are less active; They maintain health of the matrix   cytes  
🗑
connective tissue proper = fibroblast, fibrocyte cartilage = chondroblast, chondrocyte bone = osteoblast, osteocyte, osteoclast blood = hematopoietic stem cell   the types of cells that go to each connective tissue  
🗑
Other cells in the connective tissue are?   white blood cells, plasma cells, fat cells, mast cells, and macrophages  
🗑
Plasma Cells – make antibodies Mast Cells – inflammatory response Macrophages – engulf foreign particles   types of cells  
🗑
   
🗑

To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
