fibril
polymerized tropocollagen
fibers
groups of fibrils large enough to be seen by microscope
which vitamin is required for hydrolyzation of proline and lysine?
vitamin C
what is constitutively secreted from cell as pro collagen?
glycoprotein
where do you find tropocollagen?
in extracellular matrix
name 5 examples of glycosaminoglycans
hyaluronic acid, chondroiten sulfate, heparin sulfate, derma tan sulfate, keratan sulfate
type I collagen chain
α1(I)2α2
type II collagen chain
α1(II)3
type III collagen chain
α1(III)3
where do you find type I collagen?
in connective tissue proper & bone
where do you find type II collagen?
in cartilage
[HIGH YIELD] which type of collagen forms reticular fibers?
type III collagen
what does type IV collagen form?
basal lamina
elastin
protein with alternating hydrophilic alpha-helical domains and hydrophobic random coil domains, cross-linked within extracellular matrix
fibrilin
glycoprotein that forms structural support for the elastic fibers
what makes up elastic fibers?
elastin and fibrilin
fibroblast
fixed cell; most common cell; produce extracellular matrix
what do you call the cell of dense connective tissue?
fibroblast
what are the cells of loose connective tissue?
fibroblast, leukocyte, macrophage, adipocyte, mast cell
which connective tissue proper has a lot of ground substance?
loose connective tissue
what are the characteristics of loose connective tissue?
- fewer collagen and elastic fibers
- forms lamina propria
- supports overlying epithelium
what are the characteristics of regular dense connective tissue?
- collagen fibers in bundles arranged in parallel or orthogonally
- forms tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses
what are the characteristics of irregular dense connective tissue?
- collagen fibers in bundles with random orientation resists stretching
- forms capsules and submucosae
- *forms reticular layer of skin
where do you find reticular tissue?
in capsules of spleen, lymph nodes, liver, and bone marrow
