lecture 2: connective tissue Flashcards
what germ layer is most connective tissue derrived from?
the mesoderm
what is the difference between totipotent, pluripotent, and multipotent?
toti-can become anything (anyone!) pluri-any kind of the three germ layers, multi- any cell that is of the germ layer that cell has already initiated
the mesenchyme can differentiate into what four types of precursor cells?
fibroblasts, osteoblasts, chondrochondroblasts, hematopoetic cells
Besides cells, another component of connective tissue is important to contributing to type and function
fibers, ie collagen, elastic fibers, reticular fibers
type I collagen: where is it found, and what might a disorder of this cause?
tendons, ligaments and bones, and stratum fibrosum, lead to very fragile body if defective
type II collagen, where is it found?
found in the hyaline cartilige and annulus fibrosis
type III cartilige, where is it found
skin and the stratum synovium
type XI cartillige, where is it found?
articulating surface of joints
epidermolysis bollusa is a disease of what?
collage VII: anchoring collagen
what is the role of loose connective tissue, like areolar tissue?
packages organs, surrounds capillaries, under epithelia of body, role in inflamation, cushion, moisture management
in what way is the composition of dense connective tissue different than loose?
more collagen, makes it stronger
irregular, dense connective tissue eg are
fascia, capsules, periostium, perichondrium
regularly arranged tissue eg
ligaments and tendons
what about the arrangement of the collagen fibers is different between tendons and ligaments
ligs are less parallel, can withstand small force
What are the two layers of the joint capsule?
stratum fibrousum, stratum synovium
which layer of the joint capsule is rich in blood supply and poorly innervated?
the synovial layer
what is hemarthrosis?
bleeding into the joint space
what characterizes the stratum fibrosum?
poor vask, rich innerv esp for pain, inflex, guides!
name three functions of tendons, and how its suited to this role
attach muscle to bone, transmit tensile forces for movement, do this efficiently, collagen make up of fiber– inelastic means force is not diminished
what makes an apponeuresis so powerful
represents a muscle with a large origin and small insertion
