4 Questions
Connective tissue provides a matrix that supports and physically connects other tissues and cells together to form the organs of the body. The interstitial fluid of connective tissue gives metabolic support to cells as the medium for diffusion of nutrients and waste products. Extracellular Matrix (ECM)- major constituent of connective tissues. Consist of: PROTEIN FIBERS-collagen and elastic fibers GROUND SUBSTANCE - complex of anionic, hydrophilic proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and multiadhesive glycoproteins (laminin, fibronectin, and others) All connective tissues originate from embryonic ______, a tissue developing mainly from the middle layer of the embryo, the mesoderm. MESENCHYMAL CELLS- “spindle shaped” with their scant cytoplasm. Embryonic Mesenchyme CELLS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE FIBROBLASTS Key cells in connective tissue proper which originate from mesenchymal cells. The most common cells in connective tissue proper, produce and maintain most of the tissue’s extracellular matrix.
