Histo Lec - M5 Connective Tissue

Question 1

is one of the 4 major types of tissues in the body of animals the major constituent of which is extracellular matrix

Answer 1

Connective tissue

Question 2

provides support, binds together, and protects tissues and organs of the body

Answer 2

Connective tissue

Question 3

polysaccharides formed of disaccharide sub-units composed of uronic acid and hexosamine

Answer 3

Glycosaminoglycans

Question 4

(proteins with sugars attached where the protein forms the major part of the molecule).

Answer 4

Glycoproteins

Question 5

most abundant protein in human body. Molecules of fibers are oriented to form a sort of lattic

Answer 5

Collagen fibers

Question 6

form network of fibers. Stain black by silver salts. High glycoprotein content making them PAS-positive

Answer 6

Reticular fibers

Question 7

form broad, often (but not always) wavy, diffusely stained bundles.

Answer 7

Elastic fibers

Question 8

Stellate cells that have long, tapering, branching processes.

Answer 8

Fibroblasts

Question 9

many present in loose connective tissue. May look similar to fibroblasts; however, they are actively phagocytic and rounded in appearance.

Answer 9

Macrophages

Question 10

embryonic connective tissue cells. Resemble fibroblasts, but usually smaller.

Answer 10

Mesenchymal cells

Question 11

form three-dimensional networks of cells that are in contact via long processes.

Answer 11

Reticular cells

Question 12

wandering cells that contain basophilic granules composed of heparin

Answer 12

Mast cells

Question 13

antibody producing B-lymphocytes. As with other lymphocytes found in connective tissue and identifying feature is the spoke-like arrangement of the chromatin within the nucleus.

Answer 13

Plasma cells

Question 14

have shape similar to fibroblasts, but synthesize melanin that in the case of skin is transferred to other skin cells.

Answer 14

Pigment cells (melanocytes)

Question 15

delicate, flexible, not very resistant to stress, well vascularized. All types of connective tissue cells present

Answer 15

Loose connective tissue

Question 16

Clear predominance of collagen fibers at expense of ground substance. Fewer cells than loose.

Answer 16

Dense connective tissue

Question 17

bundles of thick, parallel fibers. Small amount of loose connective tissue around each bundle

Answer 17

Elastic tissue

Question 18

a specialized loose connective tissue with cells that form a fine matrix of fibers.

Answer 18

Reticular tissue

Question 19

a lot of amorphous ground substance composed mainly of hyaluronic acid (glycosaminoglycan). Forms a jellylike tissue

Answer 19

Mucous tissue

Question 20

fat cells are connective tissue cells that are specialized for lipid synthesis and storage.

Answer 20

Adipose tissue

Question 21

composed of adipose cells, each with a single very large droplet (unilocular) of lipid (mostly triglyceride) that occupies nearly all the volume of the cell.

Answer 21

White adipose tissue

Question 22

each cell contains multiple droplets of lipid (multilocular). The nuclei of these cells may be central with in the cell.

Answer 22

Brown adipose tissue

Question 23

What are examples of connective tissue?

Answer 23

bone, cartilage & blood

Question 23

main components of connective tissue

Answer 23

cells, protein fibers, and an amorphous ground substance.

Question 23

matrix is mainly formed from

Answer 23

glycoaminoglycans and glycoproteins

Question 24

type of collagen fiber: most common, found in every connective tissue.

Answer 24

type 1

Question 24

type of collagen fiber: found in hyaline and elastic cartilage and in vitreous body of eye

Answer 24

type 2

Question 25

type of collagen fiber: found in reticular fibers, healing wounds, smooth muscle, and fetal skin

Answer 25

type 3

Question 26

type of collagen fiber: found in basal laminae of epithelia

Answer 26

type 4

Question 27

type of collagen fiber: found in placental basal laminae, tendon, and muscle sheaths

Answer 27

type 5

Question 28

protein elastin is an important component of?

Answer 28

elastic fibers

Question 29

type of dense tissue: collagen bundles are present without apparent orientation, called dense irregular connective tissue.

Answer 29

dense irregular connective tissue

Question 30

type of dense tissue: When oriented in parallel arrays

Answer 30

dense regular connective tissue
