Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

The space between cells; it allows for cells to migrate to different places

Fibroblasts

Produces fiber for the matrix

Macrophages

Clears foreign objects from particles

Mast Cells

Thick strands of protein that lack elasticity and have great tensile strength

Elastic Fibers

Produces elastin and can stretch and resume shape

Reticular Fibers

Supports the early extracellular matrix during the formation of scar tissue, the healing of wounds, and the general development

4 Main Tissue Types

Connective, Epithelial, Muscle, Nervous

3 Main Components of Connective

Ground substance, fibers, cells

What makes up the ecm?

Ground substance and fibers

Greatest differentiate of everything vs. epithelial?

Epithelial is TIGHTLY PACKED

Basement Membrane

A sheet-like form of ecm that underlines the epithelia and endothelia and it surrounds muscle and fat

Is cartilage avascular or vascular?

Avascular

Is dense connective avascular or vascular?

Poorly Vascularized

Can muscle tissue contract?

Yes, it gets shorter
