connective tissue develops from what?
undifferentiated mesenchyme
list different fixed connective tissue cell types and their functions
fibroblasts-make fibers
chondroblasts-make cartilage
osteoblasts-make bone
hemocytoblasts-make blood
list some types of wandering connective tissue cell types
white blood cells
macrophages-eats debris and pathogens
mast cells- makes heparin and histamine
extracellular matrix contains
ground substance-undifferentiated/fills space
fibers(by fibroblasts) in the ground substance
3 kinds of fibers in the ground substance
collagen, elastic, reticular
type of fiber that gives tissue tensile strength
collagen
gives tissue stretch and recoil
elastic fibers
delicate network of fibers
reticular fibers
list the 5 types of connective tissue proper
areolar, adipose, reticular, fibrous, elastic
tissue found beneath most epithelial tissue
areolar
areolar tissue acound muscles is called
fascia
tissue specialized for insulation, nutrient reserve, and protection
adipose tissue
tissue containing many adipose cells
adipose tissue
tissue forming the 'skeleton' of large organs.
e.g. liver and spleen
reticular connective tissue
tissue with loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers
areolar tissue
tissue with the highest concentration of collagen fibers
fibrous connective tissue
tissue that is very strong and flexible, but heals poorly and has poor blood supply
fibrous connective tissue
tendons and ligaments are examples of what kind of tissue?
fibrous connective tissue
tissue capable of stretch and recoil
elastic connective tissue
arteries, airways, and vocal cords are examples of what kinds of tissue?
elastic connective tissue
tissue that is solid but not rigid
cartilage
is cartilage vascularized?
nope
list the three kinds of cartilage
hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
type of cartilage that has clear glassy appearance
hyaline
type of cartilage found in nose
hyaline
ear and epiglottis are what kind of cartilage?
elastic
the intervetebral discs, meniscus of knee joint, and symphysis pubis are what kinds of cartilage
fibrocartilage
made up of a rigid matrix of lots of collagen and salts
bone
is connective tissue vascularized?
yes
what are the kinds of connective tissue?
connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone
what does connective tissue proper develop from?
embryonic mesenchyme by fibroblasts
what color are collagen fibers?
white
what color are elastic fibers?
yellow
tendon is to strain as ligament is to
sprain
ligaments connect
bone to bone
tendons connect
muscle to bone
cartilage is vascularized?
no, so poor healing
what does hyaline cartilage look like?
blue/white with glassy appearance
what is the epiglottis and what type of tissue is it?
seals voice box from windpipe. made of elastic cartilage.
symphysis pubis is what kind of cartilage?
fibrocartilage
little lines in concentric circles
canaliculi
contains osteocyte
lacunae
