|
fibro- cells |
connective tissue proper |
|
|
-blast |
immature cell |
|
|
-cyte |
mature cell |
|
|
chondro- cells |
become cartilage |
|
|
osteo- cells |
osseous (bone) |
|
|
hematopoletic stem cells |
immature blood cells; turn into blood cells (and microphages) |
|
|
Connective tissue proper functions |
binds/supports, resists stress (esp tension)
(also protection, insulation, storage (reserve fuel), transportation (within))
|
|
|
connective tissue proper subtypes |
1. loose connective tissue (areolar, adipose, reticular) 2. dense connective tissue (regular, irregular, elastic) |
|
|
macrophages |
'large eater' engulf bacteria and debris by phagocytosis |
|
|
adipocytes |
fat cells (insulation) |
|
|
mast cells |
initiate inflametory response |
|
|
mesenchyme cells |
aka stem cells, undifferentiated; haven't developed yet |
|
|
collagen fibers |
support; strongest/tough; most abundant |
|
|
elastic fibers |
stretch and recoil |
|
|
reticular fibers |
continuous w/ collagen fibers; branch 'reticul'-network; surround small blood vessel; support soft tissue |
|
|
areolar connective tissue |
Most widespread, universal packing
supports/binds, holds body fluid, defend against infection (WBC and macrophages); storing nutrients (fat) |
|
|
loose connective tisse |
loose arrangement fibers, appears much empty space (ground substance) |
|
|
Adipose tissue |
fat; similiar to areolar CT w/ more nutrient storing |
|
|
recticular connective tissue |
support other cells by forming stroma (soft inner skeleton) |
|
|
dense connective tissue |
closely packed fibers; attaches muscle to bone, bone to bone, muscle to muscle |
|
|
dense regular connective tissue |
wavey parallel collagen fibers; resistant tension in single direction |
|
|
dense irregular connective tissue |
collagen(some elastic) fibers dense and irregular/crisscross; resists tension in many directions |
|
|
elastic connective tissue |
elastic; rare; ligaments connecting vertibrae, larger artery walls |
|
|
cartilage |
resists compression; cushion/support; collagen and elastic fibers
(flexible; resiliant; lacks nerve fibers and avascular) |
|
|
cartilage matrix |
collagen; elastin in some |
|
|
hyaline cartilage |
firm support w/ some pliability (joints, tip nose, ribs) |
|
|
elastic cartilage |
firm and flexible (external ear (pinna), epiglottis) |
|
|
fibrocartilage |
strongest cart; compressible, resists tension well (intermediate between hyaline car and dense CT), (vertebral discs, knee) |
|
|
connective tissue proper matrix |
all 3 fiber types (collagen, elastic, reticular) |
|
|
osseous (bone) |
rigid resist compression and tension; structure |
|
|
cartilage subtypes (3) |
1. hyaline 2. elastic 3. fibrocartilage |
|
|
osseous (bone) matrix |
collagen fibers, hard calcified matrix (still considered gel) |
|
|
blood |
red and white cells in fluid matrix (plasma) |
