CTL week 4 Flashcards
Characteristics of Fibroblasts
(LMHPMS
- Large, Flat cell.
- Move through connective tissue
- Healing cell
- Proliferation
- Most crucial cell in connective tissue
- Secrete fibres and ground substance
Characteristics of Macrophages
hint: DR
- Develop from monocytes (resident or free macrophages)
- Resident macrophages do phagocytosis (eat bacteria & cell debris)
Characteristics of Adipocytes
hint: FRS
- Found below skin & around organs (heart, kidney)
- Resident cells
- Store fats
Characteristics of Plasma Cells
hint: SDB
- Secrete antibodies (that neutralize foreign substances)
- Develop from B lymphocytes
Characteristics of Mast Cells
- Produce Histamine (dilates blood vessel when inflammation and kills bacteria)
- Abundant along blood vessels
There are 2 kinds of Leukcocytes
Eosinophils
Neutrophils
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG’s) is made of?
hint: HCDK
Hyaluronic acid (non-sulfate)
Chondroitin sulphate
Dermatan sulphate
Keratan sulphate
Hyaluronan (Hyaluronic acid)
- Binds cells together
- Lubricates joints
- Maintain eyeball shape
Hyaluronidase is found in which type of cells
“enzyme that break apart hyaluronic acid” found in
1) white blood cells to allow them to travel through CT;
2) sperm cells so that it can penetrate oocyte during fertilisation;
3) some bacteria have it. This leads to rapid spread of bacteria in CT.
Chondroitin sulphate provides ______ and ______ in cbsb
Support and adhesiveness in cartilate, bone, skin, blood
Dermatan sulphate present in “s t bv hv” and not in “c b”
- Present in: skin, tendon, blood vessels, heart valves
- Not present in: cartilage and bone.
Keratan sulphate is present in “c b CofE”
- cartilage and bone
- cornea of the eye.
Adhesion proteins link components of _____ ____ to one another to the surface of ____ via protein _______
- link components of ground substance
- surface of cells via protein Fibronectin
Adhesion proteins are responsible for ?
most abundant adhesion protein is ?
Adhesion proteins are responsible for ? linking components of ground substance to one another and to the surface of cells.
most abundant adhesion protein is: Fibronectin
what are the five types of Mature connective tissue?
what are the five types of Mature connective tissue?
- loose connective tissue
- dense connective tissue
- cartilage
- bone tissue
- liquid connective tissue (blood and lymph)
