Test 2 Part 1 Flashcards
CT function
structure
defense and protection
nutrition
fat depot for cushioning, insulation and energy reserves
cells that turn into CT
mesoderm and ectoderm
fibroblast and fibrocyte
FIXED -
active-larger (blast) and inactive-smaller (cyte)
active =making glycoproteins and CT fibers, euchromatic, rER, May divide if tissue damage but normally no division
inactive - nuleolus not visible, when stimulated durinbg tissue damage can become active, cytoplasm becomes eosinophilic (pink), not a lot of tarnscription, nucleus elongated
cortisol
reduces state of inflamation, inhibitory effect on fibroblastic activity(production and secretion of CT) long term use=CT damage
bone may also lose some structure
Collagen synthesis
Propepdides keep collagen soluble so doesnt form collagen fibers in the cell!
1) hydroxylation of proline VIT C dependent in ER
2) 3 collagen molecules for triple helix (ER)
3) Delivered to Golgi and exocytosis of propeptides into ECM.
4) ECM propeptidases will cleave off the propeptides = active and forms collagen fibrils and then fibers
myofibroblasts
resemble fibroblasts and smooth muscle
these are contractile cells (actin and myosin)
become numerous in would healing
Dupuytrens contracture
affects digits 4 and 5 - injury replaces collagen 1 with 3. The actin and myosin connect to the 3 and shorten which bends those fingers
adipocytes (uniocular)
forms white adipose tissue but looks yellow due to what we eat
contain a single lipid droplet that is not bound by membrane - droplet ensheathed in vimentin filaments
nucleus pushed out to periphery = signet shape
energy depot - secrete leptin to DEPRESS appetite
leptin issue
secreted by adipocytes = morbid obesity - no suppression of appetite
lipodystrophies
loss of body fat disorder - entire body affected - really thin and well defined muscles
can be uniform, or deposited in specific body regions (nech and gut area)
multilocular adipocytes
brown adipocytes - nucleus is centrally located and spherical.
around nucleus are individual droplets of lipids - hence the name multiloculalar - many loci of fat deposit
also surrounded by VIMENTIN fibers
lots of mitochondria! - HEAT GENERATION
mast cell
large and ovoid cell derived from bone marrow stem cells filled wtih methachromatic granules (w/ toluidine blue)- diverse sectretory product histamine and heparin,leukotrienes located in CT proper near blood vesels not found in nervous tissue
inflammatory response
IgE bound antigens couple to Fc receptor on plasma membrane of mast cell=mast cell releases all of its shit.
histamine = mucus production, swelling, (hay fever)
leukotrienes = bronchospasms (asthma)
macrophages
professional phagocytes - present antigens to lymphocytes
monocytes emigrate into the CT (from blood) where they differentiate
have lots of lysosomes for degredation (acidophilic)
nucleus is kidney bean shaped and is euchromatic with heterochromatic clumps
chronic inflammatory states
activated macrophages morph into epithelial like (epitheloid) cells. Epitheloid cells fuse and form giant multinucleated cells – these cells DO NOT Have increased phagocytic levels. their activity is LOW.
plasma cells
MIGRATORY -derived from B-lymphoytes - protein synthsizing cells - antibodies
large oval shape - euchromatic (eccentrically) nucleus with heterochom pushed out to edge in clock face appearance
-intense basophilic - LOT OF rER
-LOTS OF GOLGI - large neg area
constituitive pathway of antibodies - constant = antibodies are not stored - just
leukocytes
monocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils - migrate from blood into CT.
Site of inflammation attract these guys
first wave of response to inflammation=
mainly neutrophils
second wave of response to inflammation
mostly monocytes - morph into macrophages = clean up cell
mesenchymal CT
abundant, gel-like, amorphous with gloycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans; scatters reticular; mesenchymal cells ; embryonic intramembranous bone formation
mucous CT
abundant jelly-like, hyaluronic acid and glycoproteins; collagen I and III; fibroblasts - umbilical cord as whartons jely subdermal in the embryo
Loose CT (areolar)
viscous and amorphous with hyluronic acid, GAGS, proteoglycans and glycoproteins
loose array of collagen, reticular and elastic fibers
Cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, adipose, mast, and undifferentiated
lies immediately deep to epithelium and surrounds bv
dense regular collagenous CT
spare viscous amorphous with hyluronic acid,GAGs, proteoglycans,a nd glycoproteins; densely packed parallel array of type I and scattered elastics; scattered fibroblasts flattened bw colalgen bundles; tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
dense regular elastic CT
from fibroblasts. spares and visous - amorphous with hyaluronic acid, GAGs, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins
- elastin forms thin sheets of fenestrated membranes.
- elastic fibers branch and run parallel to one another.
- few collagen fibers
- found in lgamenta flava, suspensory ligaments of the penis, vocal ligament and arteries
dense irregular CT
sparse viscous, amorphous with hyaluronic acid, GAGs, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins
- tightly packed, type I, fibers orientated in many axes.
- elastic fibers interspersed
- fibroblasts are scattered
- organ capsules, dermis of skin and sleeve around nerves
reticular CT
Type III collagen
little ground substance
found in red bone marrow, liver, and lymphatic tissues/organs
adipose CT
spare ground substance
reticular fibers are found bw adipocytes
subcutaneous areas and in abdominal cavity
specialized CT
abundant, viscous, amorphous, with hyaluronic acid, GAGS, proteoglycans and glycoproteins
loose array of collagen, reticular and elastic fibers
cells: fibroblasts, macrophages, adipose, mast, and undifferentiated
lies immediately deed to epithelium and surounds bv
cartilage is specialized bc
it is firm and pliable
hyaline cartilage location
in places where it maintains a lumen/space open - -nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi
- articular surfaces of (long) bones - ribs and joints
- at epiphyseal plates of growing bones - grow in length
histogenesis (making) of hyaline cartillage
1) Mesenchyme (embryonic CT) - stellate of star shaped cells - embedded in ECM = condrification centers of cartilage sites
2) Differentiate into chondroblasts - synthesize ECM
3) as chondroblasts deposit more matrix they get stuck in lacunae (bubbes within matrix) and = chondrocytes.
4) chondrocytes may divide to form isogenous groups of 2-4 chondrocytes
isogenous groups
Progeny of a single chondrocyte - groups of 2-4 chondrocytes that are stuck in ECM
perichondrium
membrane that surrounds and protects the cartilage - from mesenchyme (mesenchymal cells that dif into fibroblasts
outer fibrous layer
outside the perichondrium - support and protect inside - dense collagenous CT - type I, fibroblasts, blood vessles and nerves
internal cellular layer - chondrogenic layer
forms cells that will form cartialage - allows for growth
appositional growth
- growing on the surface - adding to the outer layer - needs perichondrium
in most cartilages
occurs throughout lifespan
interstitial rgowth
growing of the tissue from within - only in early stages of cartilage formation
only in articular - does not have perichondrium
occurs at epiphyseal plates
why is hyaline cartilage the model of future bone:
ability to grow interstitially and appositionally
chondrogenic cells
arrise from mesenchymal cells
can become chondroblasts & chondrocytes (cartilage forming) and osteoprogenitor cells (bone forming)
chondroblasts
from mesenchymal cells (in chondrification center) and chondrogenic cells (in inner perichondrium)
- form matrix and fibers of cartialge
- RER, protein synthesis, GA — basophilic
chondrocytes
-from chondroblasts
-large nucleus and prominent nucleolus
- trapped in lacunae
can go back to being chondroblasts
-monitor matrix composition and synthesize necessary molcules to maintain catilage matrix
hyaline cartialage matrix
contains delicate fibers - made out of proteins and collagen (type II)
-collagen = tensile strength
-proteoglacans and glycoproteins
-extra cellular fluid - attracted by the sugars = plump and cushiony (60-80% of weight is in proteoglycans)
proteoglycans form 3D matrix - cushion and resilience
-avascular, no nerves, resists force
capsular (pericellular) matrix
intense stained thin layer of matrix immediately around lacuna
- hi9gh concentration of sulfated proteoglycans, hyaluronan and glycoproteins
- fine collagen fibers form woven capsule around each chondrocyte
territorial matrix
- is the lighter-staining matrix that surrounds the isogenous group
- contains a lower concentration of sulfated proteoglycans than the capsular matrix and is thus lighter-staining
- contains collagen
