CONNECTIVE TISSUE
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Connective tissue is one of the basic tissues
which gives structural and metabolic support to
the organ and other tissue of the body.
It connects other tissues.
Functions
• Support
• Packing
• Storage
Structural & Mechanical
Fills spaces, Shape to the
organ
Adipose tissue: energy
Loose areolar CT: water & Electrolytes
• Transport
• Repair
• Defense
Medium for Nutrients &
Metabolic wastes
Fibroblasts:matrix and fibres
Cells: Phagocytosis or
Antibodies
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
• GENERAL FEATURES
•
1. Cells
2. Matrix
-Fibers
-Ground substance
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Major constituent- Extracellular Matrix
Strength
Cells of Connective Tissue
• A. Fixed cells (intrinsic cells)
1.Fibroblast &
Fibrocytes
2. Mesenchymal cells
3. Adipocyte
4. Fixed macrophages
• B. Free cells (extrinsic
cells/Wandering Cells)
4.Free Macrophage
5. Mast cell
6. Plasma cells
7. Leucocytes
Function
• Fixed Cells: Production &
Maintenance of Extracellular
Matrix.
• Free Cells:Tissue reaction to injury
or invasion of Microorganisms.
Fibroblast
•
•
•
•
•
•
Most commonly seen
Fusiform with slender cytoplasmic process
Large oval nucleus,
Responsible for fiber production
Old cells are fibrocyte,
Contractile Cells are myofibroblast
Fibroblast
Adipocytes
• Store lipid
• Appears as empty
space
• Incapable to division
• Aggregate in adipose
tissue with reticular
fibre
Mesenchymal cells
•
•
•
•
•
Undifferentiated cells
Stellate in shape,
Cytoplasmic process,
Pluripotenant cell
Near blood vessels as
Advential cell
Macrophages (Histiocytes)
•

•
Free and Fixed type,
Fixed CellsIrregular Shape
filopodia process,
Dark indented eccentric
nucleus,
Derived from monocyte
Involved in phagocytosis
Fused to form giant cell.
Free Cells- rounded, no
filopodia
Plasma cells
• Oval basophilic cells,
• Eccentric nucleus
• Heterochromatin as cartwheel
nucleus
• Derived from B lymphocyte
• Produces immunoglobulin
• Antibody collected as Russell
body.
• Present in respiratory tract and
gastrointestinal tract
Mast cell
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Round or Fusiform Shaped
Mostly along blood vessels,
Metachromatic granules in
cytoplasm,
Granules have Histamine or
Heparin,
Look like basophil, so called as
connective tissue basophil .
Connective tissue mast cell –
heparin granule, present in skin.
Mucosal mast cell –small,
present in lamina propria of git
and respiratory tract
Leucocytes. GranulocytesNeutrophils,
Esinophils,
Basophiles
. Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes,
Monocytes
Leucocytes
Collagen Fibre
•
•
•
•
White colour when fresh
Do not branch,wavy
present in bundle
Collagen protein forms
Fibres
• Fibres composed of fibril
made of microfibrils
• Micro fibrils made up
tropocollagen-striations
• Synthesized by fibroblast
Collagen
• Tropocollagen is
synthesized by
fibroblasts and released
into extracellular space
where they get
polymerized to form
collagen fibrils
• Collagen on boiling gives
gelatin
• More than 25 types are
present
Collagen is also
synthesized by
• Chondroblasts: in
collagen
• Osteoblasts : in bone
• Smooth Muscle: in
blood vessels
• Odontoblasts: in the
tooth
Types
• Type1-bones ,tendons, dermis etc
• Type2-cartilage
• Type3-reticular fibres
• Type4-basement membrane
• Type5-blood vessels
Synthesis
• Amino acids
• Procollagen
• Three chains
• Tropocollagen
• Collagen
Elastic fibre
• Yellow in color when fresh
• Composed of elastin
protein
• Singly present
• Branched and anastomose
forming a network
• Can be stretched (one and
a half times)
• Synthesized by fibroblast
and smooth muscle cells in
blood vessels
• Found in ligamentum flava,
ligamentum nuchae, large
arteries
Reticular fibre
• Structurally similar to
collagen fibres
• Are very thin Immature
collagen fibre
• Actively branch to form
delicate network therefore
named Reticular
• Form supportive framework
of lymphoid tissue
• Stained black by silver salts
(argyrophillic)
• Composed of Collagen Type III
Ground Substance
• Transparent & Homogeneous
• Fills spaces between cells and fibres
• Acts as amoleculer sieve facilitating diffusion
between blood and tissues.
• Composition:
• Mucopolysaccharides
• Structural Glycoproteins
• Water & Electrolytes
• Mucopolysaccharides(Glycosaminoglycans):
Consistency & viscocity of GS, serves as a
physical barrier in spreading infection.
Examples: Hyaluronic Acid & Heparan
Sulphate.
• Structural Glycoproteins: Adhesion of cells to
the neighbouring cells. Examples:
Fibronectin(Dermis), Chondronectin(in
Cartilage) & Laminin(in basement membrane)
• Water & Electrolytes: Maintenance of Fluid
balance.
Ground substance
• Polysacchrides - hexurate or galectose
• Carbohydrate protein complex (proteoglycanes)•
1- mucopolysacchride (glucosaminoglycanes)
•
NonSulphates-chondroitin and hyluronic
acid
•
Sulphates - chondotinesulphate, heparitine
sulphate, keratohyline
•
2- glycoprotienes- fibronectine(dermis),
chondronectine (cartilage), laminin (b.m)
• water & minerals
