(38 cards)
Macrophages are also known as
Histiocytes
Component of a connective tissue consist of protein fiber and ground substance
Extra cellular matrix
What germ layer is the origin of connective tissue
Mesoderm
What embryonic tissue is the connective tissues derived?
Mesenchyme
These cells have some features of smooth muscle cells, including actin-based contraction important fo woun contraction
Myofibroblasts
Synthesize and secrete components of the ECM
Fibroblasts
Most common connective tissue cell
Fibroblast/fibrocyte
It has ovoid, large and pale staining nucleus, and basophilic cytoplasm due to the RER and golgi complex
Fibroblast
Spindle-shaped with elongated dark nucleus and an acidophilic cytoplasm.
Fibrocyte
Fused macrophages in connective tissues that functions in segregation and digestion of foreign bodies
Multinuclear giant cell
Functions in the loclized digestion of bone matrix
Osteoclasts
Adipocytes are found widely distributed in
Loose connective tissue
Cells with eccentrically dark and cartwheel appearance nucleus, that fxns in chronic infection
Plasma cell
What are the large masses of electron dense materials found in plasm cells
Russell bodies
The mast cell granules contains:
Heparin
Histamine
Serotonin
Mast cells functions mainly on
Anaphylactic rxns
The most numerous fibers in connective tissue
Collagen
What are the fibril forming collagens?
Type I,II,III,V,XI
What type of collagen functions to resist tension commonly found in skin, tendon, bone
Type I
What type of collagen functions to resist pressure commonly fd in cartilages.
Type II
Type IV collagen belongs to what type of collagen fiber.
Sheet-forming collagen
All basal lamina and external laminae is composed of what collagen fiber type that fxns s support of epithelial cells?
Type IV
The linking or anchoring collagens consist of
Type VII, IX, XII, XIV
A collagen synthesis defect disorder where there is a deletion of all or part of collagen alpha1 gene and type I collagen, with a symptom of spontaneous fractures
Osteogenesis impecfecta
