Detailed explanation-1: -The principal cell of connective tissues is the fibroblast, an immature connective tissue cell that has not yet differentiated. This cell makes the fibers found in nearly all of the connective tissues. Fibroblasts are motile, able to carry out mitosis, and can synthesize whichever connective tissue is needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of specialized connective tissues are adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, blood, and lymph.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cyte cells are cells that maintain a matrix of connective tissues. Clast cells destroy it in order to remodel it. Examples are bone cells: osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Connective tissue cell names indicate a specific cellular function.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fibroblasts are star-shaped cells responsible for the production of fibers and the matrix. Fibrocytes are mature fibroblasts which maintain connective tissues. Mast cells produce the anticoagulant, heparin, as well as the irritating vasodilator, histamine. More items
