Aorta. Fluorescence deconvolution micrograph of a section of aorta showing calcium-sensing receptors (red),connective tissue (green) and fibroblast nuclei (blue). Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals. Calcium-sensing receptors in the aorta monitor extracellular levels of calcium in the blood and act,via a feedback mechanism to the parathyroid gland,to regulate these levels.
