Connective Tissue Flashcards
(30 cards)
The only non-sulfated GAG is__
Hyaluronic acid
The following glycosaminoglycans may be found in the cartilage and bone except: A.hyaluronic acid B.chondroitin-4-sulfate C.heparan sulfate D.none of the aboe
C.heparan sulfate
- this is found in aorta,lung,liver,basal laminae
Proteoglycans are core protein + GAG,True or false?
True
All except one are structural glycoproteins present in connective tissue. A.fibronectin B.laminin C.thrombospondin D.hydroxyprolin
D.hydroxyprolin
False about fibronectin
A. It is a structural glycoprotein
B.it has 3 long polypeptide chains
C.it has role in controlling deposition and orientation of collagen in extracellular matrix
B.it has 3 long polypeptide chains
Dalawa lang :)
Laminin,a structural glycoprotein,is a major component in basal lamina of epithelia. True or false?
True.
Entactin binds laminin to type __ collagen in basement membranes
IV
Thrombospondin has role in __
Blood clotting
Most notable function of collagen

Pink
Most of Type __ collagen is synthesized by fibroblasts
I
Type __ collagen is from the chondrocytes of cartilage
II
Types I to III are ___ collagens
Interstitial
Type ___ collagen makes up reticulin (fiber type for reticular supporting meshwork)
III
Type __ collagen
A)does not form fibers but instead copolymerizes with laminin and entactin to form basal lamina of epithelia
B)is synthesized by epithelia cells
IV
type __ collagen also forms the nucleus pulposus of intervertebral discs and vitreous body of the eye
II
Type ___ collagen
A)is synthesized by fibroblasts,smooth muscle cells,liver cells
B)makes up reticular fibers
C)stains black with Ag stain

Rarely,not always
__cell: storage and metabolism of fat
Adipose
__cell: stem cell of most tissue
Mesenchymal
