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?
- loose connective tissue

- bone tissue
- liquid connective tissue (blood and lymph)
What is Mesenchyme?
What is Mesenchyme?
the first connective tissue in the embryo
most abundant fibre in hyaline cartilage?
most abundant fibre in hyaline cartilage?
Answer: collagen
