it is a omplex anionic, hydrophilic

proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans

(GAGs), and multiadhesive

glycoproteins

A type of tissue cells that is relatively stable, exhibit little movement &

can be regarded as permanent resident of the tissue.

A type of tissue cell which consist of cells that have migrated into the

tissue from the blood in response to specific stimuli.

Example/s of wandering cell population

Fibroblast has an active nucleus

It is the most common cells in CT and produces and maintains most of the ECM

components.

What fibroblast is involved in wound healing

Smaller, spindle-shaped w/ fewer processes & much lesser RER, &

contains a darker, more heterochromatic nucleus (has prominent dark area)

Specialized for cytoplasmic storage of lipid as neutral fats

the most abundant protein of the body

Well-developed phagocytic ability and specialize in turnover of protein fibers

and removal of dead cells, tissue debris, or other particulate material

Cell that is found in the connective tissue

Cell that is found in the liver

Cell that is found in the nervous tissue

Cell that is found in the bone

Cell that is found in the lungs

Cell that is found in the epidermis

Cell that is found in the epididymis lymph nodes

They usually form scar tissue

Characterized by a very basophilic cytoplasm, dotted with a lot of

basophilic secretory granules

sulfated GAG that acts locally as an anticoagulant

Promotes increased vascular permeability and smooth musclecontraction

Activate various mediators of inflammation

Numerous near small blood vessels in skin and mesenteries

Lines digestive and respiratory tracts

B-lymphocyte-derived, antibody producing cells

plasma cells are normally found in the peripheral blood as well as in tissues

Blood by migrating between the endothelial cells lining the venules to

enter connective tissue by a process called _____

phenomenon by which specific cell types are attracted by

specific molecules, draws much larger numbers of leukocytes into inflamed

tissues.

most abundant collagen/s. It forms large eosinophil bundles known as collagen fibers.

Transmembrane collagen found in focal adhesions

Transmembrane collagen found w/in the hemidesmosomes

Transmembrane collagen found in metastatic cancer cells

Transmembrane collagen found in brain-specific collagen

responsible for collagen suprastructure in the basement membrane of epithelial cells.

forms beaded filaments

forms anchoring fibrils that attach the basement membrane to the ECM.

Provide supporting framework for the cellular constituents of various tissues and organs.

Allow tissues to respond to stretch and distension.

mutation on fibrillins genes causing the blood vessels to swell because of the lack of resistance in elastic fibers; thus, causing aneurysm.

Most abundant heteropolysaccharide components of ground substance.

Composed of core protein to which are covalently attached various numbers and

combinations of the sulfated GAGs.

Largest, almost unique, and most ubiquitous (everywhere) GAG.

Type of protoglycan that binds fibrils of type I collagen

Type of protoglycan that serve as additional attachments of the cell to the ECM.

Type of protoglycan that has a core protein bearing many chondroitin sulfate

and keratin sulfate chains.

Most abundant glycoprotein in CT

Present in basal and external laminae.

Appears during embryogenesis

Present in the ECM of bone and has an important role in sequestering

calcium and promoting calcification of the ECM.

Caused by the pumping action of the heart, which forces water out across the capillary wall

produced by plasma proteins such as albumin, which draws water back into the capillaries.
