G

what makes up the connective tissue

cells, fibers, ground substance

where does connective tissue derived

embryonic connective tissue or mesenchyme

derived primarily from themesodermal germ layer of the developing embryo,

Mesenchyme

known togive rise to some mesenchymal cells (ectomesenchyme)

Neural crest

Functions of Connective Tissue

1. Support


2. Binds together other tissues


3. Provides medium for the passage of metabolites


4. storage site for lipids, water, electrolytes


5. protection against infection


6. Repair through formation of scar tissue

primitive connective tissue that contains precursors for connective tissue, as well as othertissue types.

Mesenchyme (Embryonic Connective Tissue)

forms a supporting framework for spleen, lymph nodes,bone marrow, liver, glands, and striated muscle fibers.

Reticular connective tissue

a modification of reticular connective tissue, characterizedby an extensive intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets

Adipose connective tissue

has the largest number of cells per unit volume of ECM

Loose connective Tissue

Difficult to distinguished fibrous component due to large number of cells, special stain is needed

Loose connective Tissue

Common cells in connective Tissue

Fibroblast

Common cells in Loose connective Tissue

Macrophages and fibroblast

Other cells that may be observed in Loose connective tissue

1. Mast cell


2. Plasma cells


3. neutrophils


4. fats cells



This fiber is too thin to be stained in ordinary histological preparation

Reticular fiber

Reticular fiber isa Type ___ collagen

Type III

Stain used for reticular fiber

1. Gomori &Wilder Silver Nitrate (black)


2. PAS reaction stain

It is a network of thin fibers that provides support to the lymphoid organ, bone marrow, liver, glands straited muscle fibers

Reticular connective Tissue

What are the specialized connective tissue?

1, Reticular connective tissue


2. Adipose connective tissue

These fiber ______ are collored _______ by the Azo- carmine

reticular fiber,Type 1 collagen; red-brown

outer, collagenous connective tissue surrounding the lymph node

capsule

projections of the capsule that penetrate into the interior of the node

Trabeculae

extensive intracellular accumulation of lipid droplets

Adipose connective tissue

cell contains a singlefat droplet (unilocular

white fats

Why does adipose tissue appear empty

due to the extraction of fat during processing

lipid accumulated in droplets, multilocular appearance

Brown fat

Location of Brown fat

Adult: lower neck, area above collar bone, kidneys, adrenal glands, aorta


Newborns: back, neck, shoulders


Adolescence and childhood: scatter around the body

Easier to detect when a person has been exposed to cold temp

Brown fat

Brown fat can be detected using

positron-emission tomography (PET) scan

Why does Brown fats has dark red- tan color

Due to the presence of high iron containing mitochondria

more brown fat = __________


less brown fat + __________

lean; overweight

fibers are not arrange in parallel bundles

dense, connective tissue

It is responsible for the synthesis of collagen and extracellular matrix

Fibroblast

mostly collagen fibers, has less ground substances

dense, irregular connective tissue

outer layer of the skin

epidermis

dense, irregular connective tissue that is thicker than the epidermis

dermis

lightest layer visible, consist mainly of adipose tissue

hypodermis

Dermis are divided into

Papillary layer and reticular layer

surrounds the lining of cells, pail staining, small zone

Loose areolar connective tissue

Brest, what type of connective tissue

Loose areolar connective tissue

Lymph nodes, classification of connective tissue and stain used

reticular connective tissue; silver stain

it is scattered throughout the stroma of mammary gland

Adipose tissue

What type of connective tissue and stain used: Tendons

Dense, regular connective tissue; H&E

It has thick, collagenous bundles that run parallel to each other, rows of fibroblast with heterochromatic nuclei

Tendons

What type of connective tissue and stain used: Aorta

Elastic dense, regular connective tissue; elastin stain

Elastin fiber stain color

reddish-brown to black

Name the three types of fiber

1. Elastic fiber - elasticity


2. Reticular fiber - support


3. Collagen fiber - tensile strength

it is the most prevalent protein fiber

Collagen fiber

Elastic fiber has a protein called

fibrillin and elastin

Three components of connective tissue

1. Stationary cells and migrating cells


2. Ground substances


3. extracellular fibers
