Collagen Fiber Types Flashcards
I
Most abundant
Dermis, tendon, bone, dentin, fibrocartilage…
Fibroblasts, osteoblasts, chondroblasts, odontoblasts…
Resist tension
Fibril forming
II
Hyaline and Elastic Cartilage
Chondroblasts
Resist pressure
Fibril Forming
III
Spleen, liver, lymph nodes, skin, lung, smooth muscle
Smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, reticular cells
Maintain structure in expansible organs
Fibril Forming
IV
Basal Lamina
Endothelial, epithelial, Schwann, smooth muscle cells
Support delicate structure and filtration
Network forming
V
Dermis, tendon, bone, fibrocartilage
Fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells
Support type I collagen function
Fibril forming
VII
Dermis
Epidermal cells
Anchor lamina densa to lamina reticularis
Anchoring collagen
IX
Hyaline Cartilage
Chondroblasts
Binds collegen fibrils to one another
Fibril associated collagen
XI
