Areas of insertion of alveolar septa into connective tissue sheaths surrounding extraalveolar structures such as pulmonary arteries, veins, and conducting airways were examined in healthy rabbit lungs. Electron micrographs show that at this location, interstitial cells of the alveolar wall spread out ...
The present study was designed to analyze the connective tissue compartment in the terminal region of the developing rat lung. Lungs of rat fetuses (at 17,... M Wasowicz,Yokoyama,K Kashima,... - 《Cells Tissues Organs》 被引量: 29发表: 1996年 New insights into lung development and diseas...
[Change in the content of a series of components of rat lung connective tissue in the process of aging]. Content of soluble and insoluble collagen, glycosamine glycans, glycoproteins, lipids and nucleic acids was studied in rat lungs during postnatal ontogenesis (up to 32 months). Three age ...
In vertebrates, the most common type of connective tissue isloose connective tissue. It holdsorgansin place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. Loose connective tissue is named so because of the "weave" and type of its constituent fibers. These fibers form an irregular netw...
1.Tissue that connects parts of the body, e.g. adipose tissue. 2.The body’s most widespread type of tissue: supporting, linking, storing, and holding organs in place. It includes blood, bone, and cartilage. Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © 2008 by Diagram Vis...
"We were able to show that PU.1 is activated in various connective tissue diseases in the skin, lungs, liver and kidneys. PU.1 binds to the DNA in the connective tissuecellsand reprogrammes them, resulting in a prolonged deposition of tissue components," explains Dr. Ramming. ...
2Involvement of the lungs has been described in nearly every variety of connective tissue disease (CTD), from the hereditary syndromes of Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos3,4,5through the immunologically mediated collagen vascular diseases (CVD) to the related systematic vasculitis, granulomatosis, and ...
It is concluded that the increased stability of the collagen (mainly type I) in the locomotive system and skin are not "true" aging phenomena. It is possible that the changes in the connective tissues of the lungs and kidneys contribute to the decrease of function with age. The "normal" ...
Connective Tissue Disease Symptoms Since there are so many connective tissue diseases, your symptoms will depend on the disease you have. In general, though, symptoms may affect your: Bones Joint Skin Heart and blood vessels Lungs (trouble breathing or catching your breath, cough with bloody phleg...
As their name implies, elastic fibers act like rubber bands within a tissue. Especially in tissues that are subject to mechanical deformation, elastic fibers serve to bring them back to their original shape. Good examples are the dermis of the skin, the lungs, and large arteries, all of whic...
