Histology Lecture (Connective tissue) part 1 Flashcards
(85 cards)
Support and bind tissues for all organs.
Connective Tissue
Provide packing tissue between organs.
Connective Tissue
Creates a hydrophilic environment.
Connective Tissue
Mediates exchange of substances b/w
blood and tissues.
Hydrophilic Environment
Mesodermal in origin.
Connective Tissue
Origin of connective tissue.
Mesoderm
Embyonic tissue.
Mesenchyme
Origin of different tissues w/c develop into
specialized cells of adult tissue.
Mesenchyme
Example of adult tissue that developed from mesenchyme.
- Connective Tissue
- Smooth Muscles
- Blood Cells
6 Main functions of Connective Tissue.
- Structural framework for the body.
- . Protection/mechanical support for all organs and tissues.
- Transport fluids and dissolves substances.
- Storage of energy.
- Protection of the body against infection.
- Significant role in repair or healing of wounds.
Composition of Connective Tissue
- Connective Tissue Cells
- Extracellular Matrix
2 types of connective tissue cells.
- Fixed Cells
- Free Mobile or Wondering Cells
Produce and maintain extracellular components and storage of reserve fuel.
Fixed Cells
5 cells under classified as fixed cells.
- Fibroblast
- Fixed Macrophages
- Adipose Cells
- Reticular Cells
- Undifferentiated Mesenchymal Cells
For short term tissue reaction to injury.
Free Mobile or Wondering Cells
5 cells under classified as free mobile or wondering cells.
- Macrophages
- Plasma Cells
- Mast Cells
- Eosinophils
- Lymphoid Cells
Bone marrow in origin.
Mast Cell
Produce Histamine.
Mast Cell
Help dilate small blood vessels in reaction to injury.
Histamine
3 compounds released by mast cell, which are involved in inflammatory responses.
- Heparin
- Histamine
- Chemical mediators
Inflammatory response cell/mast cell in liver.
Kupffer Cells
Inflammatory response cell/mast cell in CNS.
Microglia I cell
Inflammatory response cell/mast cell in bone.
Osteoclasts
Store triglycerides, support, protect and insulate.
Adipocytes
