Prelims Flashcards
Can’t be found inside a Mast Cell
Eccentric Nucleus
Few cells, abundant amount of Extracellular Matrix
Connective Tissue
Many cells, small amount of Extracellular Matrix
Epithelial Tissue
Provides the cells that defend the body
Connective Tissue
Orcein Stain (+) Blue to black fibers
Elastic Fiber
Argyrophilic Fiber
Reticular fiber
Effect of Masson’s trichrome to collagen fibers
blue fibers
Must abundant protein in the body
Collagen type 1
Reticular fiber contains
collagen type III
Stem cell theraphy, regenerative medicine, stellate cells, what cell is this?
Mesenchymal cells
Reticular cells
are fibroblasts
Large oval cells with signet ring appearance
adipocytes
Cartwheel appearance
plasma cell
Dissolves and washes away adipose cells
Xylol
Dominant fiber found in the ligamenta flava
Elastic Fiber
Can be mistaken as collagen fiber in H&E stain
Reticular Fiber or Argyrophilic Fiber
Gives a nice microscopic view to reticular fibers
Silver salts and PAS reagent
Reaction of adipose cells to sudan III
Black stain
Presence of microvilli under the electron microscope
mastocytes
Triggered by a potential allergen
mastocytes or mast cell
Lysosomes are seen under the electron microscope
macrophages
Kidney-shaped nucleus
histiocytes
spherical nucleus
plasma cell
compact and dark nucleus
fibrocytes
flat nucleus
adipocytes
The “quiescent cell”
Fibrocytes
Stabilizes the ground substance
proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, fibrillin
Makes the ground substance acidic
Dermatan sulfate
It is non acidic
hyaluronic acid
Serves as backbone to which proteoglycans are attached by link proteins to form proteoglycans complexes
hyaluronic acid
Most abundant glycosaminoglycans in the connective tissue matrix
hyaluronic acid
Toluidine blue on mast cells
dark purple cytoplasmic granules
When a flat cell is only starting to accumulate fat it is sometimes referred as:
lipoblast
Lymphocytes, basophils, white blood cells, otherwise known as:
Leukocytes
Provides surveillance against bacterial invaders
leukocytes
produces antibodies
plasma cell
Deep to all epithelial basement membrane
loose connective tissue
Collagen content in an ordinary connective tissue, other term collagenous connective tissue
collagen type I
Predominant cell in an collagenous connective tissue
fibroblast
Connective Tissue found in tendons
Dense regular connective tissue
Connective Tissue found in the dermis of the skin
Dense irregular connective tissue
Connective Tissue found in the hypodermis of the skin
loose connective tissue
Consist of smaller adipocytes containing multiple lipid droplets
Brown adipose tissue
consist of large adipocytes containing single lipid droplets
White adipose tissue
Found in the sole of the feet
adipose tissue
connective tissue found in the umbilical cord
Wharton’s Jelly
Fixed and wandering cells
connective tissue
Sarcosomes in a muscle tissue
mitochondria
