Ct Flashcards

All ct cells originate from this emryonic cell called what
Mesenchymal
Name of only named matrix
Plasma
“White fibers” name
Collagen
This type of ct fills spaces within body

Fibers in ground substance make up what
Matrix
This type of ct causes cells to arrange themselves in parallel lines between collagenous fibers and makes up intervertebral discs of back
Fibrocartilage
These structures can stretch 1 1/2 times their length
Elastic fibers
This would describe the following types of cells. Mast cells and fibrocytes
Fixed cells
This substance is an anti aging coagulant
Heparin
