Damaged tissue can be repaired by what cell?

Damaged tissue can be repaired by fibroblasts, which are a type of connective tissue cell. Fibroblasts produce collagen and other extracellular matrix components to rebuild the damaged tissue and restore its structural integrity.


Scar tissue is a variety of?

Scar tissue is a type of fibrous connective tissue that forms as a result of injury or inflammation in the body. It is formed by collagen and functions to repair and strengthen damaged tissues. However, it is often less flexible and elastic than healthy tissue, which can lead to functional limitations.


What replaces amitotic tissue when they are damaged?

Amitotic tissues do not undergo cell division to replace damaged cells. Instead, they rely on surrounding cells to migrate and fill in the damaged area to repair the tissue. This repair process is slower and may not fully restore the tissue to its original state.


What are the 3 major groups of connective tissue?

Epithelial, muscle, and nervous. Disagree- the 3 subgroups are: loose, dense, and connective tissue with special properties. Subgroups within dense are: dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are interwoven in disordered fashion, and dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are in parallel bundles. Subgroups in the special properties connective tissue are named to indicate the identifying feature, such as mucous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue or reticular connective tissue.


Which of these is not a type of connective tissue?

Muscle tissue is not a type of connective tissue. Connective tissue includes types such as adipose tissue, cartilage, bone, and blood.

Dense regular connective tissue


Are tissues damaged by myocardial infarction replaced by connective tissue?

Myocardial infarction is more commonly known as a heart attack. Yes, tissues damaged by myocardial infarction are replaced by connective tissue.


What type of connective tissue is damaged when you lacerate your index finger tendon?

When you lacerate your index finger tendon, the type of connective tissue that is damaged is the tendon itself. Tendons are dense connective tissues that connect muscles to bones, and they play a crucial role in transmitting the force generated by muscles to produce movement.


Do connective tissue reproduce?

Yes, connective tissue does have the ability to reproduce through a process called fibroplasia, where fibroblasts proliferate to repair damaged tissue. However, the rate of reproduction can vary depending on the type and location of the connective tissue in the body.


What releases histamine promotes inflammation?

Histamine is released by basophils and mast cells in near by connective tissue which is an immune response to foreign pathogens.


How does the inflammatory response cause the 4 signs of inflammation?

The purpose of inflammation are:to reduce the spread of pathogens, to destroy them and to prevent the entry of additional pathogensto remove damaged tissue and cell debrisand to begin the repair of the damaged tissue. hope this helps=)

What tissue has good blood supply and an extensive extracellular matrix?

connective tissue


What is the tissue group with widely scattered cells?

Connective tissue is the tissue group with widely scattered cells. In connective tissue, cells are separated by an extracellular matrix composed of fibers and ground substance. Examples of connective tissue include loose connective tissue, dense connective tissue, and adipose tissue.


Fibrous connective tissue is known as?

Fibrous connective tissue is known as matrix. Matrix helps to connect joints and enables movement of the joints. If this becomes damaged, the joint or limb may become unusable.


Connective tissue cells that are phagocytic?

Macrophages are the main phagocytic cells found in connective tissue. They play a crucial role in engulfing and digesting foreign particles, damaged cells, and other debris to maintain tissue homeostasis and support the immune response. Other connective tissue cells, such as fibroblasts, are not typically phagocytic.


Which kind of tissue is blood?

Connective Tissue, because it's formed from the same embryonic layer as other connective tissues.
