Connective Tissue(C.T.) The mesodermal ………………. to mesenchymal tissue(undifferentiated mesenchymal cells&hemogenous intercellular substance of proteins The mesenchymal tissue are differentiated in the embryo into 1-connective tissue C.T. 2-vascular tissue 3-smooth muscle
The connective tissue formed of • A-C.T. cells • B-C.T. fibers • C-C.T.matrix
Types of C.T. • According to the nature of intercellular matrix • we have 3 types of connective tissue • 1-C.T. proper( soft matrix) • 2-cartilage (rubbery matrix) • 3-Boney ( solid matrix)
1-Connective tissue proper • It is called connective because is support,binds&connection various tissue and organs
The C.T. is formed of • 1-C.T. cells • 2-C.T.fibers • 3-Soft matrix or ground substance
Types of connective tissue proper • The cells &C.T. fibers are present in the • soft C.T.
6 (Six)Types of C.T. Proper • 1-areolar C.T. • 2-yellow elastic C.T. • 3-Mucoid C.T. • 4-White collagen C.T. • 5-Adipose C.T. • 6-Reticular C.T.
Types of Connective tissue cells • 1-Fixed C.T. cells as • 2-Free C.T.Cells
1-Fixed C.T. cells as: • 1-fibroblast, • 2-fixed macrophages, • 3-fat cells, • 4-mesenchymal cells, • 5-pericyte cells, • 6-endothelial cells • 7-reticular cells
Fibroblast&Fibrocytes Cells • -develop from mesenchymal cells&pericytes • -It is very numerous in areolar C.T. • -basophilic cytoplasm • -The cytoplasm is rich in RNA,ER,GA,Mitochondria • -fibroblast can divide • -Fibroblast can changes into myofibroblast
Function of Fibroblast • - Form collagen,elastin&reticulin substances in order to form C.T.fibers • -Form the mucoprotein of the C.T. matrix • increase number during healing of wounds • Fibroblast change into myofibroblast which close wounds
Fibrocytes === mature fibroblasts • - Small spidle shaped cells with dense nuclei • - Acidophilic cytoplasm • -can not divide
2-Fixed macrophages or histocytes cells • -dervied from blood monocytes • - more present in the damaged C.T. • -have irregular cell membrane • -cytoplasma is not clear-rich in lysosomes • -the nucleus is small ,kidney shape • -Histiocytes cells can be stained with vital stain as trypan blue
Function: • -Defence mechanism of the body • -can engulf(eat)foreign bodies,bacteria and old blood cells • -can clean wound from foreign bodies&debris • -can transport antigens • -macrophage………multinucleatd gint cells…..enclose large foreign bodies in order to destroy them
3-Adipose cell or fat cells or adipocytes • -derived from mesenchymal cells • - flat peripheral nucleus • -there are 2 types of fat cells • 1-unilocular white fat cells • 2-multilocular brown fat cells • -Fat cells can not divide • Stained : • orange with sudan III,black sudan black
Function • -brown fat responsible for energy reservoir&heat production • -white fat cells release energy during starvation • - support organs as kidney • -they act as heat insulator
4-The Mesenchymal Cells(UMC) • -embryonic branched cells called(UMC) • -has large oval nucleus&basophilic cytoplasma • -present in the embryonic tissue • Function: • Can differentiate into other types of C.T.
5-The Pericyte cells • -pale branched cells(peri= around) • -present immediate external to the endothelium of blood vessels capillaries&small venules • -persistent in adult life
Function: • Give rise to both fibroblast&smooth muscle cells • -role in the process of healing of connective tissue • -modified to form myoepithelial cells which can contract
6-The Endothelial Cells • Present in the surface of blood capillaries&blood vessels • -develop from the embryonic mesenchymal cells
Function: • 1-synthesise collagen(type 4 collagen) • 2-can form the basal lamina of the endothelium • 3-divide rapidly ..give rise..endothelial cells of lung capillaries to secret angiotensin converting enzyme
7- Reticular Cells • -present in mainly in the reticular C.T. • -modified fibroblast which are specialized to secrete reticular fibres • -reticular cells are found in the stroma of bone marrow,lymph nodes,spleen,liver,pancreas
Function: • Supportive&phagocytic cells • -form the stroma of glands&bone marrow • -removal cellular debris from the lymphatic tissue
2-Free C.T. Cells • 1-Mast Cells • 2-Plasma Cells • 3-Free Macrophages, • 4-Blood Leucocytes • 5-Melanophore Cells
1-Mast Cells 2-Histamine secretory mast cells • Present under mucosa of respiratory &digestive tract • Histamine…………….contract smooth muscle • Dilated blood vessels capillaries • Increased the capillary permeability
-Small cells,round,irregular in shape • -present in groups blood vessels • Types of mast cells • 1-Heprin secretory mast cells • Present in the C.T. of skin,secret heprin which is an anticoagulant
LCT – M = mast cell; P = plasma cells; F = fibroblasts; Eo = eosinophils, N = neutrophils
Function: • -Secrete heparin or histamine • (paracrine cells) • -release chemical mediators as immediate hypersensitivity • Factors which may cause of anaphylactic shock
2-Plasma Cells • Present • peritoneum, submucosa of digestive • respiratory tract, • lymph nodes&spleen • -originate from plasmablast cells which develop from B-lymphocytes • -small&round with hemogenous basophilic cytoplasm

3-Free Macrophages • -derived from blood monocytes after their migration to C.T. • -their cytoplasma is rich in lysosomes&RER • -they have oval eccentric nuclei
