what are unilocular adipocytes?
large cells that store lipids and after occur together in large masses are clumps
what is this tissue?
Multilocular adipocytes
what are multilocular adipocytes?
lipid storing cells specialized for heat production they are rich in mitochondria which is why you see white circles in them
what is beige fat?
unilocular adipocytes can adopt the heat generating properties of multilocular cells
What happens when adipocytes get too big?
Chronic inflammation which recruits the immune system
how are white, beige, and brown fat link lineage wise?
white and beige are linked and brown has a separate lineage
How are bone and cartilage linked?
they are always bounded by a collagen sheet
What are the cells that produce bone and cartilage?
osteocytes and chondrocytes
what type of collagen is bone composed of?
Type I
What is the purpose of type X collagen?
used as a scaffold when types I collagen is first being formed?
What is the major collagen of the cartilage matrix?
Type II collagen
What do proteoglycans do?
retain water, stiffen matix, and resist compression
Would you consider blood to be a connective tissue…why or why not?
answers for it
It is highly cellular has few fibers except fibrin, and has a ground substance
answers against
separate lineage
what determines whether a fat will be thermogenic?
-UCP-1 in mitochondria
-it changes the product of mitochondrial respiration from ATP to heat
How are adipocytes involved in modulating hunger?
they produce hormones that modulate hunger or satiety
Fibroblasts
main cell in CT
responsible for the production,remodeling, and degradation of matrix and ground substance
Myofibroblasts
myosin producting subtype of fibroblasts specialized to gerate force
type I collagen
dominate large fiber of connective tissue. Plays structural and space filling roles.
How is type I collagen synthesized?
it is synthesized as a triple helix procollagen molecule and alligned and cross-linked extracellularly into fibrils
Type III collagen
Dominate small fiber of CT, and dominant fiber in mesenchyme. Provides support to highly cellular regions
Elastic fibers
composed of proteins elastin and are found where stretchiness is required
What is the role of type IV collagen?
forms the lamina densa for the basement membrane
What is the role of type VII collagen?
forms anchoring filaments in lamina reticularis
What is the role of type II collagen?
structural component of cartilage
What is the role of type V collagen?
necessary for the building of type I and III. found at the sites of collagen synthesis
Dense regular connective tissue
has mostly type I collagen
1 dimension
in tendons and ligaments
what type of connective tissue is this?
Dense regular connective tissue
Dense sheet-like connective tissue
mostly type I connective tissue arranged in a 2D sheet. sound where compartmentalization of connective tissue is nessasary
How is type III collagen visualized?
silver stain
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue?
mostly type I collagen
all three dimensions
does not allow for cell motillity
what type of connective tissue is this?
Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Loose connective tissue
type three collagen and lots of ground substance, always irregular in orientation. Found is layer that need movement for immune cells
What type of connective tissue is this?
Loose connective tissue
Perineuronal nets
proteoglycans in the brain that can help label neurons
Ulceration
too many cells that dissolve structural components of an organ wall
Cyst
wall off an area by depositing thick connective tissue
How do keloids develop?
too much collagen is produced or it’s in the wrong direction
what is a hypertrophic scar?
flat appearance at the margin, collagen parallel to surface and increased myofibroblast count
How are elastin fiber visualized?
Verhoeff stain which stains them deep purple to black
what are the layers of the basement membrane?
lamina lucida
lamina densa
lamina reticularis
What are these lines pointing to?
loose connective tissue on the left
dense connective tissue on the right
What is this pointing to?
reticular fibers
what is diapedesis?
how leukocytes leave the circulation
what is paracellular extravasation?
the migratory cell moves through the
transiently-broken junctional complex between two epithelial cells.
What is transcellular intervasation?
the migratory cell pierces the endothelial cell body (or a fenestration), is most common in the bone marrow
What are some other cell immune defenses?
surface secretions, junctional complex,basement membrane
fiber matrix
proteoglycans
what is tissue swelling caused by and what’s it purpose?
the addition of fluid (plasma filtrate) to the CT, and its purpose is to allow easier mobility for the motile cells of CT
What happens in chronic inflammation?
in chronic inflammation, stromal cells may acquire the function of an inflammation response. This is significant because the immune system regulates itself to eventually resolve the inflammation, whereas stromal cells are less easily regulated.
What is the role of Mast cells
pro-inflammation, soley found in the CT, have specific granules that contain histamine, a mediator of inflammation and heparin, an anticoagulant.
Are basophils in the blood stream?
basophils do exist and have important immune-modulatory functions in CT but are rare
Eosinophils
mediate allergic responses and kill parasites
what is intravasation?
entering blood stream
what is extravasation?
exciting bloodstream
which one is more common intravasation or extravasation?
extravasation
how does diapedesis work?
diapedesis uses a very complex system that can signal different leukocytes and be very specific
