ground substance ECM
what stains black with silver salts
reticular fibers
what are coiled branched fiber
elastic fibers
what contains a single large fat droplet
white adipose tissue
what arises from myeloid stem cells in bone marrow and are usually near small blood vessels
mast cells
what arephagocytosingcellsofconnectivetissue.They are responsible for removing large particulate matter and assisting in the immune response. They also secrete substances that function in wound healing.
macrophages
arise from lymphoid stem cells during hemopoiesis
lymphoid cells
areantibody-manufacturingcellsthatarisefromactivatedBlym-
phocytes and are responsible for humoral immunity.
plasma cell
are white blood cells that possess cytoplasmic granules and arise from myeloid stem cells during hemopoiesis.
granulocytes
s a loose connective tissue that is the main constituent of the umbilical cord. It consists of a jellylike matrix with some collagen fibers in which large stellate fibroblasts are embedded.
mucous tissue Wharton’s Jelly
embryonic CT
mucous connective tissue and mesenchymal tissue
has few fibers but more cells then dense CT
well vasculairzed
flexible
not resistent to stress
areolar ct (loose)
contains more fibers but fewer cells than loose connective tissue.
Dense CT
which contains fiber bundles that have no definite orientation. This tissue is characteristic of the dermis and capsules of many organs.
dense irregular
which contains fiber bundles and attenuated fibrob- lasts that are arranged in a uniform parallel fashion.
only in tendons and ligaments
