25
cells that are precursors of macrophage
monocyte
26
large ovoid w spherical nucleus, cytoplasms w basophilic granules and located in mucous membranes and skin
mast cells
27
what are contained in the granules of mast cells and funciton
histamine, heparin, eosinophilic, chemotactic factor secretion causes hypersensitivity reaction, allergy, anaphylaxis
28
T/F during an allergic reaction, there is a high amount of basophils
T
29
function of adipose cell
stores neutral fats as energy reservoir and for heat production
30
most abundant Glycosaminoglycan
hyaluronic acid
31
components of glycosaminoglycans
hyaluronic acid, dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate, heparan sulfate
32
GAG+ core protein =
proteoglycan
33
function of proteoglycans
strength / elasticity
34
3 structural glycoproteins
fibronectin, laminin, thrombospondin
35
which structural glycoprotein is involved in clotting cascade and adhesion of platelets
thrombospondin
36
function of basement membrane
- for physical binding and support of epithelium to the underlying tissue - control of epithelial growth and differentiation - permit flow of nutrients, metabolites and other molecules to and from an epithelium - selective barrier to the passage of molecules from one compartment to another
37
components of the basement membrane
glycosaminoglycan (heparan sulfate) type IV collagen structural glycoproteins
38
most abundant protein in the human | body, representing 30% of its dry weight
collagen
39
collagen is made up of fibrils that are _nm in diameter
75

1-20um
41
color of collagen when stained w eosin
pink
42

blue
43
color of collagen when stained w Masson's
green
44
Color of collagen when stained w Sirius red
red
45
location of Type I collagen
cartilage and bone
46
location of type II collagen
hyaline cartilage
47
location of type III collagen
surroundings of organs
48
location of type IV collagen
basement membrane
49
nice to know: disease associated w genetic aberrance on collagen formation? they lack type I collagen and are usually seen w blue sclering, loose joints, short stature and sometimes hearing problems
Osteogenesis imperfecta
50
reticular fibers are type _ collagen
3 | tandaan niyo nalang na reTHREEcular fibers
51

PAS
53
t/f reticular fibers are abundant in smooth muscle covering spleen and liver
t
54
function of reticular fibers
supporting framework
55
elastic fibers stain black / dark blue using _ stain
orcein
56
2 structures of elastic fibers
elastin - central core, contains desmosine and isodesmosine | fibrillin - surrounding
57
function of elastic fibers
response to stretch and distention
58
disease associated w genetic aberrance on elastic fiber formation
Marfan syndrome
59
function of Loose Connective tissue
diffusion of oxygen and nutrients
60
function of irregular connective tissue
strength
61
