Fibrous CT contains what fibers?
a. Collagen
b. Elastic
c. Reticular
Fibers compactly arranged
Dense connective tissue
Compose primarily of Type III collagen;
very little ground subs
Reticular tissue
These are the resident population of cells that develop and remain within connective tissue.
Fixed Cells (resident cells)
These cells are also considered as the normal components of connective tissue.
Fixed Cells (resident cells)
These are leukocytes that migrate from the bloodstream to the connective tissue in response to tissue damage or inflammatory.
Transient Cells (wandering cells)
these are cells specialized in storing energy as fats.
Adipocytes
Adipocyte that function as long-term storage of
energy
White fats
Adipocyte specialized for the synthesis and storage of
triglycerides
White fats
Adipocytes that also functions as cushion
for organs and helps in the insulation of the body
White fats
Adipocytes that functions as generation of heat
Brown fats
newborns have a higher proportion of this fat than adults, however it gradually decreases with age
Brown fats
these cells release molecules that dilate blood vessels and recruit more immune cells to a site of mast cell activation.
Mast Cells
these are phagocytic cells. Its purpose is to engulf and digest microbes, cellular debris, and foreign substances
Macrophages
these are mature B lymphocytes that produce large quantities of antibodies, and are abundant wherever antigens may enter the body.
Plasma Cells
these are cells involved in many inflammatory processes including parasitic infections, allergic reaction, and asthma.
Eosinophil
these are a type of leukocyte in the immune system, which are also one of the key elements for immune response and adaptive immunity
Monocytes
they either kill invaders, or alert other blood cells to help destroy it and prevent infection.
Monocytes
bind epithelial tissue to the tissue underneath it.
• enables the body to move without going too far
Loose connective tissue
enables the body to move without going too far
Loose connective tissue
the minerals and water that the local tissue needs are present in this tissue
Loose connective tissue
Some of this tissue serve as insulators and energy reservoirs
Loose connective tissue
This tissue serves to protect the organs beneath it.
Loose connective tissue
Loose connective tissue is located in?
(U, D, Bv, Bo)
• Under the epidermis
• Dermis
• Around blood vessel
• Around and between most
body organs
This tissue functions to join together various tissue muscles and organs to transfer force or tension across a large distance.
Dense regular connective tissue
True or false: Although they have a high load resistance, dense regular connective tissues do not have the necessary flexibility.
False na false
Dense regular connective tissue is located in?
Ligaments and Tendons
This tissue contains elastin fibers in addition to collagen fibers, which allows the tissue to return to its original length after stretching.
Dense regular elastic
This tissue gives arterial walls the strength and the ability to regain original shape after stretching
Dense regular elastic
Dense regular elastic is located in?
Ligaments
• Tendons
• Aponeurosis
This tissue is found in high concentrations in body parts where support is needed to prevent the effects of forces that pull in multiple directions.
Dense Irregular
The 3-dimensional structure allows it to withstand force from different directions
Dense Irregular
Dense Irregular is located in the?
(D,Gt, O,E)
Dermis of the skin
• Glandular tissue
• Walls of organs
• Whites of the eyes
The primary function of this tissue is the collection, storage, and subsequent release of lipids.
Adipose
This tissue functions as a cushion for protection (resists blows)
Adipose
This tissue functions as a layer of insulation against excessive heat loss because of the characteristics of the lipids being stored
Adipose
Adipose is found in?
(CB, S, V,Bmat)
• Inside the cavities of your bones
• Under your skin (subcutaneous fat)
• Between the internal organs (visceral fat, bone marrow adipose tissue)
Tissue specialized microstructure that develops in secondary lymphoid tissues, produces memory B cells and long- lived, antibody-secreting plasma cells that can act as a barrier against reinfection.
Germinal
Germinal is found in?
(iBcF)
In the middle of B cell follicles
Composition of CT
Cells, extracellular fibers, Amorphous ground substance
