|
T/F. Connective Tissue can occur on free surfaces.
|
False. CT never occurs on free surfaces.
|
|
|
T/F. All CT has a nerve supply.
|
True.
|
|
|
What types of CT, if any, are not highly vascularized?
|
All CT is highly vascularized EXCEPT:
1. Ligaments 2. Tendons 3. Cartilage |
|
|
Are the components of CT static or dynamic?
|
CT is dynamic tissue. I.e., there's turnover (bone remodeling etc.).
|
|
|
T/F. Extra Cellular Matrix can be anything from watery to rigid.
|
True
|
|
|
1. Name the three fiber types of CT.
2. Which fibers are found in CT cells vs. ECM? |
1. The three fiber types are Collagen, Elastin, and Reticular.
2. All CT fibers are found in the ECM (though they're manufactured by cells). |
|
|
Which of the following can be found in ECM?
-Carbohydrates -proteins -salts -nutrients -secreted proteins -hormones |
All of them can be found in ECM. Particularly if it's gel-like ECM.
|
|
|
CT arises from ____ cells, which itself arises from the ____ germ layer.
|
CT arises from mesenchymal cells, which itself arises from the mesoderm germ layer.
|
|
|
A mesenchymal cell is which of the following?
1. Pluripotent 2. Multipotent 3. Totipotent |
Mesenchyme is Multipotent because it can give rise to some but not all embryonic tissue.
|
|
|
Which cell type secretes matrix?
|
Fibroblasts
|
|
|
Fibroblasts secrete...
|
matrix
|
|
|
Antibodies are secreted by what cell type?
|
Plasma cells, which are a sub-type of white blood cells.
|
|
|
what CT cell type produces histamine?
|
basophils and mast cells.
|
|
|
The following describes which type of CT?
"One of the most widely distributed connective tissues in the body, possesses relatively fewer fibers but more cells and non-fibrous extracellular matrix than dense connective tissue." |
Loose Connective Tissue
|
|
|
The following describes which type of CT?
"usually consisting of collagen fibers that are closely packed, with similar parallel orientation" |
Dense Regular CT
|
|
|
The following describes which type of CT?
"usually consisting of collagen fibers that have a variety of orientations." |
Dense Irregular CT
|
|
|
The following four are all examples of what type of CT?
-Blood -Fat -Bone -Cartilage |
Specialized Connective Tissue.
|
|
|
Which of the following are present in LCT and with what abundance?
-Elastin -Fibrin -Reticular -Collagen type I -Collagen type II -Collagen type III -Collagen type IV |
LCT contains
-Collagen type I - primary fiber -Elastic fibers - small amounts -Collagen type III (aka Reticular fibers) - small amounts |
