Connective Tissue Flashcards
What do mesenchyme cells produce
Mast cells fibroblasts chondroblasts white and brown adipocytes osteoblasts
What do chondroblast produce
Chondrocytes
What do fibroblasts produce
Collagen in the form of precursor tropocollagen 
Elastin
What is type two collagen
Cartilage
Where is type three collagen
Liver, bone marrow, spleen
What is type three collagen also known as
Reticulin
How can you tell apart collagen fibres from muscle fibres
Collagen is extracellular so it doesn’t have any nucleus
What do chondroblast produce
Cartilage
Where are you find irregular dense connective tissue
the penile fascia
Where are you find regular dense connective tissue
Tendons
Why do we find reticulin (type three collagen) In the bone marrow, liver,spleen
It provide a scaffold for blood cells
Where is elastin produced
From fibroblasts
Where do you find brown adipose tissue
Across the shoulders and down the back of a newborn
Where is Hyline cartilage found
Synovial joints
What cells are in Hyline cartilage and why
Chondrocytes because they have been trapped in the amorphous matrix that they secreted
