Connective Tissue Part II Flashcards
Major fiber component is type III collagen
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Interspersed with fibroblasts and macrophages
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Located in the liver sinusoids, adipose tissue, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, smooth muscle and islets of langerhans
RETICULAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Single lipid droplet
WHITE (UNILOCULAR) ADIPOSE TISSUE
Present in the subcutaneous layers throughout the body
WHITE (UNILOCULAR) ADIPOSE TISSUE
Common in adult human than brown adipose
WHITE (UNILOCULAR) ADIPOSE TISSUE
Multiple lipid droplet
BROWN (MULTILOCULAR) ADIPOSE TISSUE
Heavily vascularized thus brown in color
BROWN (MULTILOCULAR) ADIPOSE TISSUE
Types of Embryonic Connective Tissue
Mesenchymal connective tissue
Mucous connective tissue
Loose, amorphous connective tissue exhibiting a jelly-like matrix composed of hyaluronic acid and populated with type I and type III collagen fibers and fibroblasts
Mucous connective tissue
Located in the Wharton’s Jelly of the umbilical cord and subdermal connective tissue of the embryo
Mucous connective tissue
Present only in the embryo and consists of mesenchymal cells
Mesenchymal connective tissue
Neither vascularized nor supplied with nerves or lymphatic vessels; cells receives nutrients from surrounding connective tissue
CARTILAGE
Shock absorber
CARTILAGE
Friction-free movement of joints
CARTILAGE
Is a connective tissue sheath covering that overlies most cartilage
PERICHONDRIUM
Has outer fibrous layer and inner cellular layer
PERICHONDRIUM
Vascular, supplies nutrients to cells of cartilage
PERICHONDRIUM
Perichondrium is only present in ____ and ______
hyaline and elastic cartilages
Most abundant cartilage
HYALINE CARTILAGE
