Connective Tissues
-
Classification
-
-
connective tissue proper
mucous, loose, dense, adipose
-
ECM
-
-
Functions
-
connection, anchoring and support organs
-
-
-
Resident Cells
-
-
Activated macrophages
-
Abundant rER, Golgi and cytoskeleton + many lysosomes
Adipocytes
-
Support atherosclerosis
They release factors that activate macrophages for inflammation and those become foam cells full of lipids (plaque)
For treatment, the adipocytes are targeted to not activate the adipocytes
Fibroblasts
Functions
synthesis of collagen, elastic and reticular fibres and the complex of the ECM
-
Protein fibres
Collagen fibres
-
type 1
skin, bone, tendon, cornea
-
type 3
reticular fibres, loose c.t : dermis
-
-
-
Reticular fibres
-
-
mainly found in liver, spleen and lymph nodes
