Connective Tissue

Question 1

Hematopoietic tissue

Answer 1

Blood acting as tissue because it cycles through the body, originate in the bone marrow

Question 2

Cellular components of connective tissue

Answer 2

1) fibroblasts
2) adipose cells
3) macrophages
4) mast cells
5) leukocytes
6) plasma cells

Question 3

Unilocular Adipocyte

Answer 3

Cells with one lipid droplet in the cell that fills there whole cytoplasm

Question 4

Multilocular Adipocyte

Answer 4

Contains many lipid droplets and mitochondria

Question 5

Brown fat

Answer 5

Multiple lipid droplets and mitochondria

Question 6

Plasma cells

Answer 6

They have abundant RER to make immunoglobulins. Contains an eccentric nucleus and cartwheel arrangement of heterochromatin.

Question 7

Mast cells

Answer 7

Inflammatory response

Question 8

Integrins

Answer 8

Transmembrane proteins that hold the cell to extracellular components of the membrane. They replace cadherins in hemidesmosomes

Question 9

Reticular fibers

Answer 9

Type III collagen, enriched in lymphoid organs and tissue

Question 10

Hydrostatic pressure

Answer 10

Pressure of blood coming out of heart

Question 11

Plasma colloidal

Answer 11

Osmotic pressure outside of the cells in the connective tissue space

Question 12

Mesenchyme

Answer 12

Consists of undifferentiated cells with a minimal amount of ECM. It acts as progenitors of all CT cells

Question 13

Functions of Connective Tissue

Answer 13

Support, transport of nutrients, defense, wound healing, and storage

Question 14

Fibrous connective tissue

Answer 14

Collagen fibers, reticular fibers, and elastic fibers

Question 15

Amorphos connective tissue

Answer 15

Glycosaminoglycans (highest sugar content), proteoglycans and glycoproteins (lowest sugar content).

Question 16

Fibroblast

Answer 16

secrete collagen and amorphous material and ECM
