Connective Tissue: medium level

Connective tissue proper, cartilage, and bone share the same building plan.

The extracellular matrix of connective tissue proper contains a homogenous solid substance.

Transient cells in connective tissue proper originate mainly from chondroblastic stem cells.

Fixed cells in connective tissue proper originate from undifferentiated neuroglial cells.

Elastic membranes in the aorta can be stained using thionin.

Collagen fibers in loose collagenous connective tissue can be demonstrated using anilin blue staining.

The three main types of connective tissue are connective tissue proper, muscle, and bone.

Collagen is a component of the fibrillar part of the extracellular matrix.

The extracellular matrix contains only fibers and no ground substance.

Fixed cells in connective tissue leave the bloodstream to migrate into the connective tissue.

Mucous connective tissue is typically found in the brain of an adult.

Leukocytes originate from hemopoietic stem cells.

Connective tissue proper consists only of the extracellular matrix.

Plasma cells differentiate from adipocytes.

Adipose tissue is a type of muscle tissue.

Reticulin can be used to impregnate the tissue in reticular connective tissue.

Mucous connective tissue in the umbilical cord is stained using hematoxylin and eosin.

Mast cells are stained using thionin.

Dense collagenous connective tissue regular is found in the skin.

Elastic membranes are demonstrated in the aorta with aniline blue.

Reticular fibers are commonly found in dense collagenous connective tissue regular.

Ground substance, an amorphous component of the extracellular matrix, does not contain glycoproteins.

Elastic fibers provide rigid support to connective tissue proper.

Fibroblasts are transient cells within connective tissue proper.

Adipocytes found in adipose tissue are responsible for producing elastic fibers.

Collagen fibers are arranged irregularly in dense collagenous connective tissue found in tendons.

Loose areolar collagenous connective tissue is found in the mucosal and submucosal connective tissue of the large intestine.

Plasma cells in loose connective tissue produce elastic fibers.

The primary function of reticular connective tissue is to provide cushioning and insulation.

Mucous connective tissue, present in the umbilical cord, is characterized by abundant collagen fibers.

The three main types of connective tissue proper are: collagenous, reticular and mucous.

Elastic membranes in the aorta are composed primarily of fibronectin.

The walls of arteries may include elastic membranes, which aid in withstanding pressure changes.

Adipocytes, responsible for fat storage in adipose tissue, are derived from hematopoietic stem cells.

The amorphous ground substance's primary role is to give color to cutaneous tissue.

While orcein is used to stain elastic membranes, it's typically ineffective for staining collagen fibers.

The orientation of collagen fibers in dense regular connective tissue facilitates multidirectional stretching.

Plasma cells, derived from T lymphocytes, differentiate to produce antibodies.

Reticular connective tissue, offering a unique framework, is predominant in the liver.

Thionin is used to stain plasma cells

Connective tissue proper (CTP) is structured with both transient cells, originating from mesenchymal stem cells, and fixed cells, originating from hematopoietic stem cells.

Collagenous CTP can be classified as either loose or serous, depending on the organization of its collagen fibers.

In dense regular collagenous connective tissue, such as a tendon, the nuclei of fibroblasts appear oval-shaped when viewed under Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining.

Plasma cells, a type of transient cell in connective tissue proper, originate from T lymphocytes and are commonly found in loose collagenous connective tissue.

Elastic membranes in the aorta are best visualized using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining.
