✵Types of cells found in connective tissue.
- Fibroblasts
These are the least specialised of all the cells. They are mainly responsible for secreting the non-rigid extracellular matrix including the fibres: elastin or fibronectin.
- Adipocytes
These are fat storing cells, which are thought to derive from fibroblastic like cells.
- Macrophages, Mast cells and Plasma cells :
These are all types of Immune cell.
★Additional information :
It contains collagen fibres, fibroblasts and adipocytes (these cells are 'empty looking' as the process of making the stained section extracts the lipid from these cells).
It contains collagen fibres, fibroblasts and adipocytes (these cells are 'empty looking' as the process of making the stained section extracts the lipid from these cells).It also contains plasma cells lymphocytes, macrophages and mast cells. The mast cells stain quite darkly, and look granular, as they have lots of secretory granules.
