Q

describe coupled connexons of gap junctions

A

25
Q

describe radioautography

A

provides a means to study the turnover of epithelial cells and other types of cells

26
Q

describe mouse and triniated thymidine experiment

A

take mouse and inject with triniated thymidine
gives dark spot on film - do time study and saw that thymidine came from stem cell layer

27
Q

what is purpose of cell division

A

during embryogenesis and post natal development to produce growth
during adulthood - cells and tissues

28
Q

describe (give ex of places) the 3 ways tissue behaves (cell division)

A

static - neurons and skeletal muscle
expanding - liver
renewing - epidermis and most epithelia

29
Q

describe cell cycle (interphase and mitosis) and times

A

G1 - presynthesis of DNA - 25 hrs, 2n
S - synthesis of DNA - 8 hrs
G2 - post DNA duplication - 3hrs, 4n
mitosis - 2.5 hrs, 2n restored

30
Q

how many chromosomes in humans

A

23 pairs of homologous chromosomes - 46 total

31
Q

name the phases of mitosis

A

preprophase
prohase
metaphase
early anaphase
late anaphase
telophase

32
Q

describe preprophase

A

intranuclear condensation of chromosomes

33
Q

describe prophase

A

visualization of chromosomes and mitotic spindle

34
Q

describe metaphase

A

chromosomes in equatorial plane
loss of nuclear envelope and nucleolus

35
Q

describe early anaphase

A

longitudinal splitting of chromosomes
kinetochores move back

36
Q

describe late anaphase

A

migration of chromosomes to poles
DNA moves back

37
Q

describe telophase

A

nuclear restitution
nuclear envelope and nucleolar formation
end of cell division

38
Q

what does dermis do

A

supports epidermis and binds to hypodermis

39
Q

describe CT of dermis

A

2 sublayers = papillary and reticular layer

40
Q

describe papillary layer of dermis

A

loose ct
slightly smaller
more cells less fibers

41
Q

describe reticular layer of dermis

A

dense irregular ct
more fibers less cells

42
Q

can you describe loose ct as irregular

A

no bc not enough fibers

43
Q

what is difference between regular and irregular ct

A

regular is uniform
Irregular is no specific pattern

44
Q

describe ct of hypodermis

A

loose ct - specialized
usually infiltrated with fat cells - adipocytes
more cells than fibers

45
Q

what is function of connective tissue

A

carries nerves and blood vessels - innervation and blood supply to epidermis and other epithelial tissues
provides support and a connecting framework to other tissues of body

46
Q

what is structural composition of ct

A

extracellular fibers + amorphous ground susbtance (proteoglycans and glycoproteins) = ECM
population of different types of cells (fibroblasts)

47
Q

name and describe the varieties of ct

A

loose - papillary layer of dermis
dense = dense irregular (reticular layer of dermis) or regular (tendons)
supporting - cartilage and bone
special properties - hemopoietic bone marrow

48
Q

name the 3 layers of embryos

A

ectoderm
mesoderm
endoderm

49
Q

where does all ct come from

A

mesoderm layer = mesenchymal cells
which ate pluripotent stem cells and become all cells of ct

50
Q

what can ct mesenchymal cells differentiate into

A

bone
cartilage
fibroblasts
blood cells

51
Q

describe ct differentiation to lipoblast

A

gives rise to lipoblast - can divide and become lipcytes

52
Q

describe ct differentiation to chondroblast

A

makes cartilage
chondroblast = active cell, divide and makes ecm and becomes trapped and then becomes chondrocytes

53
Q

describe ct differentiation to osteoblast

A

bone cell that is making bone
same type of differentiation of a chondroblast

54
Q

describe how main cells of ct form

A

mesenchymal cell –> fibrobalst –> fibrocyte (terminal stage)

55
Q

describe chromatin of mesenchymal cell

A

pale chromatin - euchromatin
nucleus is pale

56
Q

describe chromatin of fibroblast

A

older cell
still some pale chromatin
dark chromatin too (euchromatin and heterochromatin)

57
Q

describe chromatin of fibrocyte

A

dark chromatin - heterochromatin
condensed DNA - to divide, can only divide
not an active cell

58
Q

what can fibrocytes sometimes do

A

de differentiate to fibroblast
happens when wound healing - causes scars

59
Q

are the cells of ct directly attached to each other

A

NOOOOO
not bound
there is space - cells separated by ecm

60
Q

what is big difference between ct and epithelial tissue

A

ct derived from mesoderm
most epithelial tissue derived from ectoderm and endoderm
