Dense Connective Tissue

Dense Connective Tissue. Regular vs Irregular. Dense Irregular CT = dermis. Dense Irregular CT = dermis. Fibroblasts with collagen fibers (red) in different planes. Dense Regular CT = tendon. Parallel bundles of collagen (pink) with aligned fibroblasts. Dense Regular CT = ligament.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Dense Connective Tissue Regular vs Irregular

  2. Dense Irregular CT = dermis

  3. Dense Irregular CT = dermis Fibroblasts with collagen fibers (red) in different planes

  4. Dense Regular CT = tendon Parallel bundles of collagen (pink) with aligned fibroblasts

  5. Dense Regular CT = ligament Parallel bundles of collagen (pink) with elastin fibers (ribbon candy) and non-aligned fibroblasts

  6. Dense Connective Tissue Cartilage

  7. Low mag of hyaline cartilage

  8. High mag of hyaline cartilage – cells in lacunae in amorphous matrix

  9. TEM of chondrocyte

  10. Elastic cartilage – dark purple fibers in matrix

  11. High mag of elastic cartilage

  12. Low mag of fibrocartilage between two pieces of bone

  13. High mag of fibrocartilage – aligned cells with bundles of collagen

  14. Dense Connective Tissue Joints

  15. Diagram of intervertebral joints

  16. Intervertebral joint – NP = nucleus pulposa; AF = annulus fibrosa; A =articular cartilage

  17. Diagram of a synovial joint

  18. Synovial joint – C = articular cartilage; Cp = joint capsule; S = synovial membrane; E = ligament

  19. AC Synovial joint – articular cartilage (AC)
