connective tissue Flashcards
3 elements of ct
cell
fiber
noncellular matrix material
classification of ct
embryonal and adult
2 types under embryonal ct
mucoid ct
mesenchymal ct
the unspecialized mesodermal tissue
mesenchymal ct
these ct are stellate or spindle shaped with cytoplasmic processes that eventually transform jnto various adult cell types
mesenchymal ct
a more advanced stage of mesenchymal ct
mucoid ct
mucoid ct is present in ____&
Wharton’s jelly of umbilical cord
comb and wattle of birds
lamina propium of omasum
principal component of mesenchymal ct
mesenchymal cells with insignificant amnt of intercellular substance and fluid
principal component of mucoid ct
intercellular substance( amorphous matrix and ground substance appears granular in proper fixation
fibril forming collagen
types 1,2,3, 5, 11
what type of collagen is predominate in ct
type 1
connect 1 tissue or organ to another
ct
minor component of mucoid ct
fine collagen and elastic fibers and cells and mesenchymal cells
prinicipal component of fibrous ct
fibers
fibrous ct is classified accdg to
fiber packing or density
fiber orientation or arrangement
fiber type
a type of fibrous ct where only the irregular form exists
loose
most common or ordinary ct in the body
loose
composed of loose array of randomly oriented collagenous, reticular and elastic fiber
loose
loose ct is found in
lamina popria
t. su mucosa of tubular organs
mesenteries
subcutis
it is where loose ct usually hypercellular and considered a diffuse lymphatic tissue
subcutis
principal component of loose ct
cells and intercellular substance
function of loose ct
strength, support, elasticity
2 classification of loos ct (cellular components)
resident and wandering cells
the normal constituents of ct and produced, grow old and die in the ct
resident cells of loose ct
what are the resident cells
fibroblast
mast cells
pericytes
fats
macrophages
mesenchymal cells
foreign body giant cells
reticular cells
derived from leukocytes themselves thay have invaded the loose ct when it is needed
transient or migrant cells
7 transient cells
plasma cells
pigment
lymphocytes
monocytes
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
the most numerous and important resident cells of loose ct
fibroblast
shape of fibroblast
between fiber- spindle shaped
not associated with fibers- stellate
what does the fibroblast secrete
collagen and elastic precursor
they form scar tissue when monocytes are destroyed
fibroblast
how does finroblast form scar tissue
secretes collagen fibers to fill the gaps left by dead myocyte
process kf scar formation
fibrosis
fibroblast in a quisxent phase is termed
fibrocytes
phase where fibroblasg is involved in fiber maintenance insted of fiber production
quisxent phase
small spindle shaped cells that usually lie between bundles of fibers
fibrocytes
oval cells with a small oval nucleus and coarse, basophilic cytoplasmic granules containing heparin and histamin and serotonind
mast cellss
a hofmone6that is anticoagulant
heparin
component of mast cells that increases vascular permeability and smooth muscle contraction
histamine
histiocytes or clasmatocytes
macrophages
