& migrate

Question 15

Stem Cells

Answer 15

1. Stem cells can develop into
   other types of cells
2. Stem cells can regenerate &
   produce more stem cells

Question 16

Differentiation

Answer 16

process by which stem cells
become specialized cells
– Stem cells “choose” certain
genes to develop into
specialized cells

Question 17

Fibroblasts

Answer 17

Most abundant connective tissue cell type
* Secrete all types of ECM protein fibers
* Easily divide & regenerate
* Can develop into mature fibrocytes

Question 18

blast”

Answer 18

“immature”
embryonic form of a cell
* Can divide to make more cells

Question 19

cyte”

Answer 19

If a “-cyte” has a “-blast” form,
“-cyte” is the “mature” form

Question 20

Fibroblasts

Answer 20

Most abundant cell type in Connective tissue proper Secrete proteins(e.g. collagen & elastin
-lots of protein synthesis

Question 21

Fibrocyte

Answer 21

-2nd most abdundant
-Maintain fibers
-limited protein synthesis

Answer 22

cell that produces and
stores melanin

melanin

Answer 23

class of brown/black or red
pigments

Eat pathogens, damaged cells, debris
* May be stationary
or mobile

Neutrophils (microphages)

Answer 26

eat debris & pathogens thru phagoccytosis

Question 27

Granulocytes

Answer 27

Promote inflammation
* Impede & destroy pathogens

Question 28

Loose connective tissue

Answer 28

“Packing materials” of the body

Question 29

Areolar

Answer 29

Least specialized
* Open area of fiber framework
–Elastic fibers
–Thick ground substance fills the
gaps
* Holds nerves, ducts, & vessels in place

Question 30

Reticular Tissue

Answer 30

reticulum – “network”
* Provides support
* Complex, three dimensional network
* Supportive fibers (stroma)
–Support functional cells (parenchyma)

Question 31

Adipose Tissue

Answer 31

Contains many adipocytes (fat
cells)
* Adipocytes in adults do not divide
–Mesenchymal cells can become
adipocytes
–Store excess energy
–Metabolize fats for energy

Question 32

types of adipose tissue

Answer 32

white, brown and beige

Question 33

Dense Connective Tissues

Answer 33
