connective tissure Flashcards
Dermis
the papillary layer: loose CT
the reticular layer: dense CT
hypodermis
loose CT
apidocytes
Function of connective tissue
framwork let epithelial rest on
nerve and muscle embeded
carry nerves and blood vessels that provide innervation and blood supply to the epidermis and other epithelia
provides support and a connecting framework to other tissues of the body
communicaiton and transport
CT derived from
mesenchyme
Component of CT
different cells and extracellular matrix (extracellular fibers and amorphous ground substances)
types of CT
loose
dense (irregullar regullar)
supporting CT. (ex. bone cartilage)
CT. with special properties (ex. bone marrow)
when fibrocyte go to fibroblast
wound healing
fibrocyte heterochromatin
Mesenchymal cell
from mesoderm of the embryo
very active
differentiate to all kinds of CT cells
Common cells in CT
fibroblast: secrete collagen and other ECM
adopocyte: store fat
Mast cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells: immune functions
lymphocyte: humoral response, secret immunoglobulin
mast cell: allergic reaction secrete hepatin and histamine
plamic cell: produce antibody
macrophage: phagocyte
ground substrance composition
water, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, glycoproteins
fiberonectin (structural glycoprotein)
proteoglycan
GAGs:
1. chondroitin SO4 +core protein
2. dermantan SO4+core protein
3. Heparan SO4+core protein
4. Keratan SO4+core protein
in bone: have minerals
in blood: is fluid (plasma)
fibers
collagen: confer strangth and flexibility
elastic finber: confer resistancy (elastin)
collagen fibers
Type I – dermis, tendon, bone
Type II –cartilage
Type III – reticular fiber
Type IV – BM
Type V – fetal tissue, only in embryo
collagen type I made
alpha 1 and 2 gene
3 preprocollagen peptide in Rough ER
hydroxylation of lysine and proline residues
attach suger
assemble the procollagne molecule (triple helix)
golgi packing and secretion
extracelllular space: procollagen peptidases: cleave the tripe helix
left with tropocollagen
self aggregate to microfibril, collagen fibril adn finally collagen fiber
cartilage and bone
support mechnical stress without distortion and also provide support to adjacent soft tissue
