Q

Embryonic Connective tissue

A
  • Rich in ECM (more ECM than cells)
  • Rich in Mesenchymal stem cells
  • some collagen or reticular fibers (not many)
  • in umbilical cord (wartons jelly)

  • Banding observed (fibril alignment)
  • 2 alpha type 1 and a alpha type 2
29
Q

Adult Mesenchymal Stem cells

A

are multipotent stem cells that differentiate into:

  • fibroblasts
  • muscle cells (smooth/skeletal)
  • osteoblasts
  • chondroblasts
  • adipocytes
30
Q

What is this tissue?

A

Reticular Connective Tissue

31
Q

Macrophages?

A

differentiate from blood monocyte

phagocytosis and destruction of

  • bacteria
  • damaged or sick cells
  • cell debris

antigen processing and presentation

32

Tissue?

A

Elastic CT

33
Q

Types of loose connective tissue?

A
34
Q

Different major groups of CT?

A
  • Embryonic CT
  • Adult CT
    • fibrous CT
      • loose (Areolar CT)
      • Dense regular
      • dense irregular

A
39
Q

Look up structure difference of

Mast Cells

plasma cells

Macrophages

A
40
Q

Mast cells

A

secrete chemicals such as

histamine that mediate the allergic response

and

heparin (anti-coagulant of blood)

resembe baso/eosinophils

41
Q

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

A

abnormal collagen synthesis leads to weak collagen fibers (multiple forms). (mutation in the enzymes that make collagen)

42
Q

What is ground substance?

A

extracellular matrix- gel like substance embedded with protein fibers (can be hard and mineralized in bone)

43
Q

Tissue?

A

Dense irregular connective tissue
