Ansc 320 organ and tissue growth and development(lec 9-13) Flashcards
(101 cards)
Lec 9
organ growth
heart growth
-develops from embryonic mesoderm
-follows body growth
grows immediatly after birth cell proliferation, at maturity hypertrophy only
-still capable of hyperplasia immediately post natal
blood presure increases heart size
Kidney growth
made of loosely connected protein and phosphlipids
kidneys weight proportan to the surface are of the body
BW^.67
large animals have multi-lobe kidneys
-number of nephrons fixed earily in life
-malnutrition earily in life can reduce number of nephrons
-can not repair themselves because they are constantly working
-one kidney removed, other will increase in size
Lung growth
developed from embryoinc mesoderm
-trachio-bronchial tree forms first
-alveoli form slowly and not all alveoli formed at birth
-alveoli at birth are large
-number of alveoli increase earily in life and then is fixed
-number increase post-natally(geneticly determined)
later growth occurs through expansion of alveoli size, not number
alveolar surface are directly proportional to the rate of whole body oxygen consumption
lung size
directly proportional to body weight
lung growth
hypertrophy -high altitudes, removal of one lung
growth hormone
hyperoxia, reduces lung volume
Almentary tract growth
ectoderm develop into?
mesoderm develop into?
endoderm develop into?
eg, Mouth, teeth, salivar glands from ectoderm
loung, stomach, intestines develop form mesoderm
-throat, root of tongue, esophagus from endoderm
-significant post-natal developments occur in stomach and intestines
2nd set of teeth
first ones for milk, sugar causes cavities
digestive tract growth
relative to body size
- size affected by function
- rumen increase in size with forage diet
microbial population
established from dam and environment
- rumen increases once they eat non-milk food
- more you eat the bigger it will be
hyperphagia of nutrients
causes hypertrophy of stomach and gut
-number of intestinal villi fixed at maturity
villi
size depend on need for absorption
liver growth
develops jointly from embryonic mesoderm and endoderm
- size relitivly constant to body mass
- positive allometry in embryo
- slower than rest of body post natal
- never loses ability for hyperplasia
- size, driven by use
- capable of regenerating
- size decreases with poor nutrition
organ growth
organs of digestion (liver, digney, gastro-intestinal trach) related to feed intake(mostly protein)
- spleen, epidermis also directly proportional to body size
- organ formation relies on connective tissue scaffold of collagen
Lecture 10
Connective tissue structure
Collegen and elastin
contributes to the structure of
- Cartilage
- bone
- Adipose(brown and white)
collegen production
produced by all cells
- mainly fibroblasts(found throught body),
- osteoclasts
- obontablast
what is collagen
-a extracellular protein
-a protein polymer found in connective tissue
-most abundand in mammalian bodies
contains at least one right-handed triple helical chain
-contains 3 alpha chains
distinguishing features of collagen
right handed triple helical domain
-contains hydroxyproline
collagen nomenclature
o α1(I), α2 (I), α1 (II), α1 (III)
o α indicates that collagen is an alpha chain
o 1 or 2 designates the alpha chain (different primary sequence)
o Can be more than 2 types of alpha chain
o Roman numerals indicate the type of collagen (I to XXVIII)
collagen primary structure
one alpha-chain
-consists of amino acids
collagen secondary structure
each alpha chain folds into a left-handed alpha-helix
-HYP stabilizes helix
Collagen tertiary structure
alpha chains combine into right-handed super triple helix
collagen quaternary structure’s
epimysium-around muscles
perimysium(P)- around muscle fibre bundles
endomysium(E)- around muscle fibres
