27
Q

mast cells

A

large cells containing cytoplasmic granules; fount in CT proper, by small blood vessels and under epithelium; occatonally divide; derived from a precursor cell from bone marrow

28
Q

mast cell mediated events

A

basic inflammatory reaction, immediate hypersensitivity response, anaphylaxis, asthma

29
Q

basic inflammatory reaction

A

mast cell trauma or phagocytosis in response to dead cells, debris and damaged fibers; localized reaction of mast cell degranulate; histamine first reactant followed by leukotrienes and heparin

30
Q

histamine

A

primary mediator in basic inflammation; increased permeablilty of capillaries and venules, dilates arterioles

31
Q

leukotrienes

A

second mediator in basic inflammation

32
Q

Heparin

A

third mediator in basic inflammation

33
Q

immediat hypersensitivity response

A

simple allergy; IgE and allergin complex

34
Q

anaphylaxis

A

IgE/allergin in blood; sytemic mast cell and basophil degranulation and secretion

35
Q

anaphylactic shock

A

circulatory shock; cardiovascular collapse caused by extensive blood loss

36
Q

extrinsic asthma

A

allergins known; often childhood onset

37
Q

intrinsic asthma

A

allergin unknown; may develope in aduls following an upper of lower respiratory infection

38
Q

asthma stimulated by:

A

IgE/allergin complex and/or fatigue, stress, fumes, endrocrin changes, emotionst etc.

39
Q

primary problem in asthma

A

leuotrienes contract smooth muscle in bronchioles

40
Q

secondary difficulties caused by asthma

A

inflammation; excess fluid and decreased oxygen diffusion

41
Q

cells in CT

A

fibroblast, fibrocyte, myofibroblast, adipocyte, plasma cell, macrophages, mast cells, leukocytes, mesenchyme cells, reticular cells

42
Q

types of leukocytes

A

monocytes, neurophiles, eosinophils, basophils and lymphocytes

43
Q

monocytes

A

become macrophages in CT

44
Q

neutrophils

A

attracted to sites of acute inflammation; good at phagocytosis of debris and bacteria

45
Q

eosinophils

A

combat parasitic worms; attracted to allergic inflammation

46
Q

basophils

A

similar to mast cells; initiate/influence and maintain inflammation

47
Q

lymphocytes

A

usually not many in CT; attracted to chronic inflammation sites

48
Q

funtion of lymphocytes

A

humerall and cell mediated immunity

49
Q

mesenchyme cells

A

divide by numbers decrease with age; functional to change into another cell type

50
Q

reticular cells

A

derived from mesenchyme dcells; produce collagen III (reticular fibers)

51
Q

what do fibroblast have in common with reticular cells

A

fibroblast produce reticular fibers when needed on a temporary basis (wound healing) while reticular cells are found when collagen III is needed on a permanent basis

52
Q

where do reticular cells produce collagen III on a permenant basis

A

endocrin and lymphatic organs

53
Q

classification of CT

A

connective tissue proper and specialized CT

54
Q

Connective tissue proper

A

loose CT, dense CT

55
Q

types of Dense CT

A

56
Q

types of loose connective tissue

A

loose areolar and loose irregular

57
Q

characteristics of loose CT

A

larger number of cells, many cell types, fewer fibers, increased amounts of ground substance, quite vasular

58
Q

loose areolar

A

greater and lesser omentum; around blood vessels and in other small areas

59
Q

loose irregular

A

papillar layer of dermis, directly beneath epithelium in organs

60
Q

characteristics of dense CT

A

fewer cells, fewer cell types, many fibers, less ground substance, less vascular

A

reticular layer of dermis, nerve sheaths and organ capsules

62

64
Q

adipose

A

adipocyte cells, quite vascular; function in lipid storage

65
Q

general CT rules

A

1) increased number of cell types will increase healing potential 2) increased vascularity will increase healing potential

66
