[HIGH YIELD] which type of collagen forms reticular fibers?
type III collagen
what does type IV collagen form?
basal lamina
elastin
protein with alternating hydrophilic alpha-helical domains and hydrophobic random coil domains, cross-linked within extracellular matrix
fibrilin
glycoprotein that forms structural support for the elastic fibers
what makes up elastic fibers?
elastin and fibrilin
fibroblast
fixed cell; most common cell; produce extracellular matrix
what do you call the cell of dense connective tissue?
fibroblast
what are the cells of loose connective tissue?
fibroblast, leukocyte, macrophage, adipocyte, mast cell
which connective tissue proper has a lot of ground substance?
loose connective tissue
what are the characteristics of loose connective tissue?
- fewer collagen and elastic fibers
- forms lamina propria
- supports overlying epithelium
what are the characteristics of regular dense connective tissue?
- collagen fibers in bundles arranged in parallel or orthogonally
- forms tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
what are the characteristics of irregular dense connective tissue?
- collagen fibers in bundles with random orientation resists stretching
- forms capsules and submucosae
- *forms reticular layer of skin
where do you find reticular tissue?
in capsules of spleen, lymph nodes, liver, and bone marrow
what allows water, nutrients, and dissolved gasses to leak out into the interstitial from capillaries?
fenestrated endothelium
how are proteins released into tissues during inflammation?
through kinin system and complement system
what is the effect of proteins being released into tissue during inflammation?
increased sensitivity to pain
particularly which leukocytes are responsible for inflammation?
neutrophils and basophils
what is the matrix secreting cell of the connective tissue proper?
fibroblast
which cells are present in blood?
erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes
what is the cartilage matrix component?
hyaluronic acid (as a component of the ground substance) forms a gelatinous matrix
what type of muscles make up tongue and esophagus?
skeletal.
NOTE: remember, some viscera can be made of skeletal muscles
what does somatic mean?
voluntary
what does autonomic mean?
involuntary
which of the muscles is not striated?
smooth
which of the muscles have long nuclei?
smooth
skeletal muscle organization from biggest to smallest
muscle –> muscle fascicle –> muscle fibre –> myofibrils –> myofilaments

what does perimysium wrap?
fascicle
what does endomysium wrap?
muscle fiber
what’s another name for muscle cell?
muscle fiber
what does epimysium wrap?
muscle
what is endomyseum made up of?
reticular fibers
which connective tissue associated with skeletal muscle contains blood vessels and nerves?
perimyseum
which of the connective tissue associated with skeletal muscle is thickest?
perimyseum
what are the characteristics of myofibrils?
- repeating sarcomeres
- contractile element of the cell
- extend the entire length of the muscle fiber
Z dics
the borders that separate and link sarcomeres within a skeletal muscle
