19
Q

What type of tissue is this?

A

Reticular connective tissue

20
Q

What are reticular cells and what is their role in reticular connective tissue?

A

A reticular cell is a type of fibroblast that synthesizes collagen alpha-1(III) and uses it to produce reticular fibers

21
Q

What is reticular connective tissue often the framework for?

A

Myeloid (bone marrow) and lymphoid (lymph nodes, spleen) organs.

22
Q

What type of tissue is this?

A

Elastic connective tissue

23
Q

What are the connective tissue disorders that we need to know?

A

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Fibrosis

Keloids

Scurvy

Marfan’s Syndrome

24
Q

What is thought to cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and how is characterized.

A
25
Q

What is a fibrosis/keloid and give examples of both.

A
26
Q

Why is vitamin C essential to collagen synthesis?

A

Ascorbate (vitamin C) is essential for the hydroxylation of proline into hydroxyprolin - a major component of collagen.

27
Q

What is Marfan’s Syndrome? What causes it and what is its inheritance pattern?

A
28
Q

What is anaphylactic shock on a cellular level?
