BIOSC-139 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Cytosol, Thymus, Fibroblast
Document Summary
Ratio between different fibers will vary with tissue. Ground substance syrupy material (fig 4. 7) Table 4. 7 space between cells and various fibers basically built with molasses type material (viscous) table 4. 9. Areolar connective tissue loose connective tissue (space) Uses to trap bacteria, etc, & cancer cells. Function of fat cells is to store fat droplets. Most of cytoplasmic area is hollowed out for the deposition of fat droplets. Adipocyte nucleus to the side around the perimeter would be the various organelles that the cell needs to function. There is cytosol but when you add fat, you take out the cytosol. Located everywhere space is for blood vessels & nerves to pass through going to other types of tissues in other parts of your body (under epithelium tissue) vascularized ground substance. Function is that is surrounds & protects organs loosely binds epithelia to deeper tissue, provides nerve & blood vessel packing. Fibroblasts reconstruct area in inflammatory response.
