Histology (connective tissue)

Bismillahirahmanirrahim

Summarization on study of Connective Tissue

Okay, basically, connective tissue can be divided into 2 types :

1. Proper

-Loose 

(remember the picture with clearly seen elastic fibre (brown) and collagen fibre (pink thick)

-Dense

(*picture irregular dense CT in dermis of the skin- the elastic fibre is thick pink, different with loose CT)

-Adipose

2.Specialized

-Cartilage

-Bone 

-Blood

Then, the main component of connective tissue is also 2 :

1. Connective tissue 'cell' :

Divide into 2 :

* Fixed cell;

(FAPMM)

-Fibroblast

-Adipocyte

-Pericyte

-Mast cell

-Macrophages

*Wandering/free cell :

(Pergi Lari Nak, Belikan  Mama Maggi)

-Plasma cells

-Lymphocyte

-Neutrophils

-Basophils

-Monocyte

-Macrophages

2. Extracellular matrix of connective tissue :-

Got 2 division also :

1. Ground subtstance that amourphous gel like material, they are :

-Glycosaminoglycan

-Proteoglycan

-Glycoprotein

Then, fibres :

-Collagen

-Reticular

-Elastic

Besides, connective tissue also classified based on those features (Classification)  :

1. Dense CT (Irregular/Regular)- but basically, the irregular one found in the dermis of skin.

2. Reticular connective tissue

3. Adipose CT

4. Loose CT

Okay.. in simple view :) Hope I can remember it later :D In shaa Allah :)
