21
Q

Connective Tissue Function:

A

Connective Tissue is the most diverse and abundant tissue type. Connective tissue makes up a variety of physical structures including, tendons, blood, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue, and lymphatic tissue.

22
Q

Main classes of Connective Tissue:

A

Connective tissue proper
Cartilage
Bone
Blood

23
Q

Connective Tissue Terminology:

A

BLAST: roughly meansimmaturecell or tissue and isinvolved in making something, in this case, the matrix.

CYTE: means CELL and is maintaining or involved with the final product.

CLAST: Breakdown the extracellular matrix in connective tissue.

24
Q

Cells found in Connective Tissue

A

Fibroblasts: cells in connective tissue that make fibrous proteins and secrete the molecules that form ground substances and collagen.

Chondroblasts: secrete matrix in cartilage (to make chondrocytes).

Osteoblasts: secrete matrix in bone to help create bone.

Blood cells: don’t produce matrix. In blood, the ECM is plasma.

Fat cells: energy storage, cushions, insulation

25
Q

What are the Structural Elements of Connective Tissue:

A
  • Extracellular Matrix (ECM)
  • Ground Substances
  • Fibres
26
Q

Extracellular Matrix (ECM):

A

Ground substance that contains many different sugar-proteins and large sugars.

Extracellular matrix is composed of ground substance (ranges from gel-like to hard in texture) and protein fibers (collagen, reticular, elastic). It provides cushioning and protection e.g. kidneys, which are surrounded by fat.

27
Q

Ground Substances of Connective Tissue:

A

Hyaluronic Acid: Polysaccharide that acts as a lubricant when rubbed and is sticky when touched.

Proteoglycan: Protein and polysaccharide that traps water.

Adhesive molecules: Hold Proteoglycan aggregates together. Are named with the suffix -nectin.

28
Q

Fibres of Connective Tissue

A

Collagen fibres: very strong, similar to a coiled rope of 3 polypeptide chains. Thickest and strongest of the 3 fibres.

Reticular fibres: Very fine, short, branching collagen fibres. Not as strong as most collagen fibres, but networks of these fibres fill space between tissues and organs. Found in organs that have lots of mesh-like internal structure. The spleen for example is full of these and acts like a filter.

Elastic fibres: stretch and recoil and contain a rubberlike protein called elastin, form a large, interwoven meshwork of spring-like molecules that extend through entire tissue.

29
Q

11 Classification of Connective Tissues:

A
  1. Loose Connective Tissue- Areolar tissue
  2. Adipose
  3. Reticular
  4. Dense Connective Tissue, Regular
  5. Dense Fibrous, Irregular
  6. Compact (Cortical)Bone
  7. Cancellous Bone
  8. Hyaline Cartilage
  9. Fibrocartilage
  10. Elastic Cartilage
  11. Fluid

  • Function
32

34
Q

What are Membranes

A

Body membranes are thin sheets of tissue that cover the body, line body cavities, and cover organs within the cavities in hollow organs. They can be categorized into epithelial and connective tissue membranes.

35
Q

What are the 6 types of Membranes:

A
  1. Epithelial Membranes
  2. Cutaneous Membrane
  3. Mucous Membranes
  4. Serous Membranes
  5. Connective Tissue Membranes
  6. Synovial Membranes
36
Q

Epithelial Membranes:

A

Epithelial membranes consist of epithelial tissue and the connective tissue to which it is attached.
Cutaneous
Mucous
Serous

37
Q

Cutaneous Membrane:

A

Cutaneous membrane=skin.
Primary role is to help protect the rest of the body’s tissues and organs from physical damage such as abrasions, chemical and biological damage.

38
Q

Mucous Membranes:

A

Mucous membranes are epithelial membranes that consist of epithelial tissue that is attached to an underlying loose connective tissue. These membranes, sometimes called mucosae, line the body cavities that open to the outside. The entire digestive tract is lined with mucous membranes. Other examples include the respiratory, excretory, and reproductive tracts.

39
Q

Serous Membranes:

A

Serous membranes line body cavities that do not open directly to the outside, and they cover the organs located in those cavities. Serous membranes are covered by a thin layer of serous fluid that is secreted by the epithelium.

Serous fluid lubricates the membrane and reduces friction and abrasion when organs in the thoracic or abdominopelvic cavity move against each other or the cavity wall.

Serous membranes have special names given according to their location.
1. Pleural
2. Pericardial
3. Peritoneal
4. (visceral and parietal)

40
Q

Connective Tissue Membranes

A

Connective tissue membranes contain only connective tissue. Synovial membranes and meninges belong to this category.

41
Q

Synovial Membranes

A

Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that line the cavities of the freely movable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee. Like serous membranes, they line cavities that do not open to the outside. Unlike serous membranes, they do not have a layer of epithelium. Synovial membranes secrete synovial fluid into the joint cavity, and this lubricates the cartilage on the ends of the bones so that they can move freely and without friction.

42
Q

Meninges

A

The connective tissue covering on the brain and spinal cord, within the dorsal cavity, are called meninges. They provide protection for these vital structures.

43
Q

Different types of Tissue repair:

A

If a cell is unable to adapt to change, irreversible injury leads to cell death

Necrosis- unprogrammed cell death

Apoptosis- programmed cell death

Autolysis- self-digestion

Heterolysis- digestion from outside the cell

44
Q

Tissue Repair Phases:

A

Inflammation: Body’s natural response to trauma

Proliferation: Rebuild with new healthy tissue

Maturation: Remodeling and healing

45
Q

Acute Inflammation

A
  1. Vascular dilatation
  2. Endothelial activation
  3. Neutrophil activation and migration
46
Q

Vascular dilatation

A

Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle leads to engorgement of tissue with blood (hyperaemia)

47
Q

Endothelial activation

A

Increased endothelial permeability allows plasma proteins to pass into tissues

Expression of adhesion molecules on the endothelial surface mediates neutrophil adherence

Production of factors that cause vascular dilatation e.g. Histamine (dilation), Serotonin (permeability)

48
Q

Healing by Fibrosis (scar formation):

A
  • Substantial damage to the connective tissue framework and/or the tissue lacks the ability to regenerate specialized cells
  • Structural integrity is re-established (lacking specialized cells, usually architectural distortion)
