3 classifications of connective tissue

connective tissue proper (loose and dense), supportive, and fluid

connective tissue proper

fibrocytes, adipocytes, and mesenchymal cells. Immune cells move in and out of area as needed.

most abundant cell in connective tissue proper, produce proteins and polysaccharides which become ground substance

store lipids or surplus energy, brown are metabolically active and white are less active

Mesenchymal cell

multipotent adult stem cell, can be any type of connective tissue

Collagen, elastic, reticular

collagen fibers

really thick , really strong, resist stretch (bones and ligaments)

long and thin, returns to original stretch after stretch, made from protein elastin, appear yellow (skin, lungs, and blood vessels)

reticular fiber

made of same protein as collagen, but remain narrow and arrayed in a branching network, found throughout the body, but most around soft organs, framework for spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow

loose connective tissue

areolar, adipose, reticular

fat storage cells, large number of capillaries

little specialization, found in web like pattern

reticular tissue

mesh like supportive framework especially for organs

fibers run in all directions (dermis of the skin)

supportive connective tissue

Cartilage, hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage, bone

avascular and bound to ground substance proteins

hyaline cartilage

most common, short dispersed collagen fibers, strong and flexible (in joints, nose, endplates of bone for growth, and trachea)

thick bundles of collagen fibers that are better at absorbing shock (knee, jaw, and intervertebral discs)

elastic cartilage

elastic fibers as well as collagen (ear lobes)

-hard dense connective tissue
-rigid extracellular matrix, collagen in a mineralized ground substance of calcium phosphate, highly vascular, cancellous bone is spongier than compact bone

touch receptors

produce the pigment melanin to give color to the skin

Langerhans cells

Macrophages for immune functions

-Deepest layer of cells in the epidermis
-Bonds to the basement membrane
-The basal cell is a cuboidal shaped stem cell
-Produces all keratinocytes, goes through mitosis often pushing older cells superficially (30-40 days to move a cell through all layers)
-Contains Merkel cells (stimulating sensory nerve) and melanocytes which produce the pigment melanin (give hair and skin their color and protects against UV radiation damage

stratum spinosum

-Spiny in appearance due to connection with desmosomes
-Interspersed Langerhans Cells that act as macrophages
-Here the keratinocytes from the basal layer begin the synthesis of keratin
-Keratinocytes get pushed up to the next layer by the new cells being produced
-Desmosomes keep keratinocytes together

stratum granulosum

-Has a grainy appearance
-Cells become flatter
-Produces lots of keratin and keratohyaline which forms the lamellar granules
-The organelles disintegrate as cells die and leave behind keratin, keratohyaline, and cell membranes to form the next layers of the epidermis and accessory structures

stratum lucidum

-Smooth and translucent layer found only in the thick skin
-Keratinocytes are dead and flattened
-Cells are full of eleiden which is a protein rich in lipid formed from keratohyaline and gives the lucid appearance and is a barrier against water

stratum corneum

-Most superficial, dry dead layer, water proof surface
-Protect against microbes and protects more delicate deeper cells
-The entire layer gets replaced about every 4 weeks

Skin color is influenced by

melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin

darker skin is from greater or lesser amounts of melanin

greater amounts

melanin protects DNA from what

UV ray damage and the breakdown of folic acid

too much melanin does what

why does hair color turn gray

the melanin controls hair color and over time it decreases, so it turns gray or white

3 cycles of hair growth

anagen, catagen, telogen

continuous growth

catagen portion

no growth, follicle shrivels

telogen portion

total resting period

-Nail body is formed on the nail bed
-The nail root is attached to the epidermis at the stratum basale

-Most are Merocrine (Eccrine) glands

normal over the body (abundant on hands, feet, and forehead), the sweat is hypotonic

apocrine glands

normal in areas with lots of hair (genitals and arm pits), they additionally release organic compounds that decompose (cause body odor), begin at puberty

sebaceous (holocrine) glands

release oils to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair, they help the skin to be more pliable, most don't start working until puberty

ceruminous glands

in ear canal and produce ear wax

abnormal cells dividing uncontrollably, 1 in 5 Americans will suffer some sort of skin cancer

basal cell carcinoma

starts in the stratum basale and spread out, eventually growing toward the surface, surgery, freezing, topical ointment

Sqamous Cell Carcinoma

2nd most common and more aggressive, surgery and radiation are both used, keratinocytes of stratum Spinosum affected

uncontrolled growth of melanocytes, usually develops from a mole, most fatal skin cancer, surgery and immunotherapy both used

allergic reaction that presents as dry itchy patches, severe case may bleed. Use moisturizers, corticosteroid creams, or an immunosuppressants

-found with sebaceous glands on the face and back, common at puberty, overproduction of sebum and keratin that blocks hair follicles

epidermis burn (sunburn)

second degree burns

into the dermis (normal to blister)

third degree burns

burn through the entire dermis (may destroy nerve endings)

fourth degree burns

any cut deeper than the epidermis leads to scar formation, fibroblasts shut wound with collagen rather than regular cellular replacement

raised scar because collagen formation does not stop

reduced blood flow resulting in necrosis, risk for infection

dermis is stretched beyond the limit of its elasticity

stratum basale divide more often due to pressure and friction, it is the body trying to protect itself

semi rigid connective tissue for flexibility and smooth surfaces

osteogenic cells

they divide and develope into osteoblasts

forms new bone, does not divide, it secretes collagen and gets trapped as the collagen calcifies, it matures into and osteocyte

common bone cell, maintain the mineral concentration by secreting enzymes, they do not divide

responsible for breakdown and re-absorption of bone, they are multi nucleated and originate from white blood cells, use hydrogen and chloride to lower pH and dissolve bone

33% collagen (protein) fibers to resist stretching and twisting, ground substance formed of proteoglycans and glycoproteins

hard matrix of the bone to resist compression, 85% is hydroxyapatite (crystalized calcium phosphate salt) and 15% is flouride, sulfate, potassium, and magnesium

80% - microscopic calcified ring around a central canal, blood vessels, nerve, and lymph vessels follow and connect all canals of the bone, waste removal and nutrient transport, in shaft of long bones and covers spongy bone

20% - shaped like a lattice work and not a canal system, some of the spaces will contain the red marrow, in the epiphysis and bones of skull

perforating fibers (long bone)

or Sharpey's Fibers, they secure the periosteum to the bone

bone formation and development

-ossification (osteogenesis) begins 6-7 weeks into embryonic life
-mesenchymal cells differentiate into Osteogenic cells and then osteoblasts in ossification centers, osteoblasts secrete osteoid, after a few days osteoblasts become osteocytes and calcium hardens the matrix 2 typesIntramembranous ossification
- bones are formed from a fibrous membrane, the final bones to ossify are facial bones at the end of adolescence. (skull and clavicles only)Endochondral ossification
- bone replaces hyaline cartilage produced at the epiphyseal plate, slower process but similar result
