1
Q

Ground substance

A

transparent, hydrated, fills space between cells and fibers

structure

2
Q

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)

A

disaccharides

attract extracellular fluid - hydrating effect resists compression

3
Q

Grave’s disease

A

increased deposition of GAGs in retro-orbital space

4
Q

Proteoglycans

A

linear chain of glycosaminoglycans bound to protein core

Non-covalently linked to hyaluronic acid

5
Q

Syndecan

A

Proteoglycan
transmembrane protein
in fibroblasts, serve as co-receptor for fibroblast growth factor

6
Q

Perlecan

A

Proteoglycan
found in basement membranes and connective tissues
Cell adhesion, proliferation, development
promotes tumor proliferation and angiogenesis; inactivation results in defective skeletal development

7
Q

Versican

A

Proteoglycan

cell to cell and cell to ECM interactions

8
Q

Multiadhesive glycoprotein

A

thether cell to extracellular elements

three binding sites - one for integrin, collagen, and proteoglycan

9
Q

Fibronectin

A

binds to integrins, collagen, heparin, hyaluronic acid

Located in connective tissue and blood

10
Q

Laminin

A

Located in basal lamina

binds to integrins, heparan sulfate, collagen, entactin

11
Q

Nidogen (Entactin)

A

In basal lamina

binds to laminin and collagen

12
Q

Chondronectin

A

in cartilage

binds to collagen, chondroitin sulfates, integrins

13
Q

Osteonectin

A

in bones

binds to collagen, proteoglycans, integrins of bone cells

14
Q

Collagen

A

most abundant protein in body

made of glycine (every 3rd amino acid), hydroxyproline, and hydroxylysine

15
Q

Type 1 Collagen

A

most abundant
in dermis, tendon, bone, fibrocartilage
Resistance to tension
fibril-forming collagen leading to formation of fibers

16
Q

Type II collagen

A

hyaline and elastic cartilage
Resistance to pressure
fibril forming collagen

17
Q

Type III collagen

A

in spleen, liver, lymph nodes, smooth muscle, skin, lung
Maintains structure in expansible organs
fibril forming collagen

18
Q

Type IV collagen

A

found in basal lamina

support delicate structures and filtration

19
Q

Type VII

A

in Dermis

anchors lamina densa to lamina reticularis

20
Q

Reticular

A

fibers composed of collagen type III

react with silver and PAS

21
Q

Elastic

A

imparts tissues with elasticity

slender branched fibers or fenestrated sheets

22
Q

Ehlers-Danlos type IV

A

defect in type III collagen

cause varicose veins, aortic rupture, intestinal rupture

23
Q

Ehlers-Danlos type VI

A

defective hydroxylation of lysine

Hyperelasticity of skin, rupture of eyeball

24
Q

Ehlers-Danlos type VII

A

defect in type I collagen

joint dislcation and hypermobility of joints

25
Q

Scurvy

A

decreased hydroxylation of proline caused by vitamin C deficiency
Gum ulceration and hemorrhages

26
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta

A

defect in type I collagen

Spontaneous fractures and cardiac insufficiency

27
Q

A

defective synthesis of elastic fibers,

aortic aneurysm , skeletal defects

28
