3.5-Connective Tissue
Cards in this deck (21)
- 1What time of cells give rise to the cells of connective tissue?Mesenchymal cells
- 2What type of cells retain the capacity for cell division and secrete the extracellular matrix that is characteristic of the tissue?Blast cells
- 3Immature cells in loose and dense connective tissue?fibroblasts
- 4Immature cells in cartilage?Chondroblasts
- 5Immature cells in bone?osteoblasts
- 6Matured cells are called what?-Cytes
ie: Fibrocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes - 7____ are large, flat cells with branching processes. They are present in all the general connective tissue, and usually are the most numerous.Fibroblasts
- 8____migrate through the connective tissue, secreting the fibers and certain components of the ground substance of the extracellular matrix.Fibroblasts
- 9PhagesEater
- 10develop from monocytes, a type of white blood cell.Macrophages
- 11___ have an irregular shape with short branching projections and are capable of engulfing bacteria and cellular debris by phagocytosisMacrophages
- 12___ reside in a particular tissue; examples include alveolar macrophages in the lungs or splenic macrophages in the spleen.Fixed macrophages
- 13have the ability to move throughout the tissue and gather at sites of infection or inflammation to carry out phagocytosisWandering macrophages
- 14small cells that develop from a type of white blood cell called a B lymphocytePlasma cells
- 15secrete antibodies, proteins that attack or neutralize foreign substances in the body. an important part of the body's immune response.Plasma Cells
- 16Plasma cells are found:plasma cells reside in connective tissue, especially in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. They are also abundant in the salivary glands, lymph nodes, spleen, and red bone marrow.
- 17They produce histamine, a chemical that dilates small blood vessels as part of the inflammatory response, the body's reaction to injury or infection. can bind to, ingest, and kill bacteria.Mast Cells
- 18Where are Mast Cells abundant?Mast cells are abundant alongside the blood vessels that supply connective tissue
- 19also called fat cells or adipose cells, are connective tissue cells that store triglycerides (fats).Adipocytes
- 20Where are Adipocytes found?They are found deep to the skin and around organs such as the heart and kidneys.
- 21Are white blood cells found in normal connective tissue?No they are not found in significant numbers in normal connective tissue. However, in response to certain conditions they migrate from blood into connective tissue.
