Connective Tissue Flashcards
What type of cells are: fibroblast, mesenchymal cells, macrophage, and fat cells?
Resident cells
Connective tissue developed from which embryonic tissue?
Mesenchyme
4 fundamental tissue
Epithelial, connective, muscular, nervous
Originated locally from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
Fibroblast
Permanent resident of connective tissue
Fixed cells
Mesenchyme is derived from which cell layer
Mesoder
Also known as histiocytes
Macrophage
Possesses the name signet ring
Fat cells
Stage of secretion and synthesis of ECM fibers and ground substance
Active stage
Mesenchymal cell is also known as
Pluripotential cells or multipotential
It is the storage of neutral fats or heat production
Fat cells
Stage where fibrocytes or mature fibroblast are in its inactive form
Quiescent stage
Transient emigrants from the blood stream
Wandering cells
A cell with features of both fibroblast and smooth muscle cells
Myofibroblast
Most common connective tissue
Fibroblast
Macrophage in the liver
Kupffer cell
Responsible for synthesis of fibers and ground substance
Fibroblast
Connective tissue cell widely sistributed in loose connective tissue
Fat cells
Macrophage in the skin
Langerhans cell
Responsible for synthesis of growth factors
Fibroblast
Macrophage in lymph nodes and spleen
Dendritic cells
Cell numerous in sites subject to penetration of bacteria and chronic inflammation
Plasma cell
Precursor of macrophage
Monocyte
Large ovoid cell, nucleus is spherical, and centrally located
Mast cell
