chapter 7 Flashcards
cartilage is?
avascular bc the ecm provides all nutrients
ecm
solid and firm bc proteoglycans bear all weight
hyaline cartilage
-type 2 collagen
-proteoglycans
-multiadhesive groups
-fibrocartilage (type 1)
-has spaces/ lacunae
-synovial joints
-WILL NOT REPAIR ITSELF
TENASCINA ND FIBRONECTIN
ANCHOR CHON OT MATRIX
collagen types
-type 2
-type 9
-type 6
type 6
attached chon to matrix
3 types of proteoglycans
-hyluron
-chroitin sulfate
-keratan sulfate
hyluron
forms large proteoglycan (aggregan)
-allows diffusion
-formation of chon
-lets chon bear weight because of water movement
core protein
makes proteoglycan monomer (has a neg charge)
what do chon detect?
changes in the matrix that trigger ecm turnover
isogenous groups
-groups of chon
-cells recently divided
-secrete metanoprotionase (an enzyme that breaks down cartilage)
cytoplasmic basophilia
in chon, responsible for protein synth
does the ecm stain?
stains unevenly therefore the matrix is not a homogenous mixture
staining regions of chon
-capsular
-territorial
-interterritorial matrix
capsular/ pericellular matrix
-has the highest concentration of sulfates and therefore proteoglycans
-type 6 collagen
-also some type 9
type 6
binds integrin recptors on the cell surface and anchors the chon to the ecm
territorial
-surrounds isogenous groups
-type 2
-less type 9 than capsular layer
-stains less bc it has less sulfate and therefore less proteoglycans
interterritorial
surrounds the territorial and is btwn the groups of chon
endochondrial ossification
hyaline cart
remaining cart after growth
-becomes epiphyseal plate and adults have articular cartilage on ribs, nose, and trachea
hyaline cart is surrounded by?
perichondrium (connective tissue)
Where do new cartilage cells come from?
the inner layer of the perichondrium
what covers the surfaces of moveable joints?
hyaline
articular cart.
-contact bone on one side
-no perichondrium
-2 to 5 nm and 4 zones
