Connective Tissue Flashcards
Principal cell of connective tissue
Fibroblast
Produces matrix
Fibroblast
Abundant along the course of blood vessels
Adipose cells
Pluripotent connective tissue cell
Mesenchymal cell
Irregular surface cytoplasm
Macrophage
Deployed along collagen fibers
Fibroblast
Rarely divide in normal connective tissue
Fibroblast

2. Plasma cells
Oval with eccentric nucleus
Plasma cells
Fusiform cells
Fibroblast
Mesenchymal cells
Responsible for cell mediated immunity
T-lymphocytes
Responsible for humoral immune system
B lymphocytes
Responsible for humoral immune system
B lymphocytes
Programmed to kill virus infected cells and tumor cells
Natural killer cells *similar to macrophage
Derived from B lymphocytes
Plasma cells
Round with bilobed nucleus and pink coarse cytoplasmic granules
Eosinophils
Eccentric bean shaped nucleus
Monocytes
Large ovoid with spherical nucleus
Mast cells
Basophilic granules contain histamine, heparin and eosinophilic chemotactic factor
Mast cells
Where is mast cell located?
Mucous membrane and skin
Abundance of Fc receptors for IgE antibodies in cell membrane
Basophils
What cell that causes hypersensitivity reaction allergy or anaphylaxis when granules are released?
Mast cells
