Caveolae
31
What does the color of adipocytes in freshly dissected sections depend on?
The amount of carotenoids dissolved in it
32
Which adipose produces heat? How
Brown adipose,
In the BA mitochondrion, due to thermogenesis the protons enter the mito, matrix without having to pass through the ATP synthesise. This causes the released energy to dissipate in the form of heat and not become ATP. Thus producing heat and this process is called non-shivering thermogenesis.
33
Why is there a large amount of BA in newborns?
To prevent the extensive heat loss (major risk of death in premature baby) infants cannot voluntarily cause their skeletal muscle cells to contract and make heat
34

48
T or F
Cartilage is avascular tissue
True,
Nutrition enters by diffusion from surrounding BV
49
What is the Lacuna?
Space left outside a cell within the matrix after the cells stop secreting the matrix anymore and undergo atrophy (cell shrinking)- chondrocytes are comparatively less active cells - but alive - found deeper in the cartilage tissue. The active cells that are secreting matrix are called chondroblasts, they are found in the periphery of the cartilage tissue
50
FITB
____________ is the most common type of collagen found in cartilage
Collagen type 2
51
How does nutrients diffuse through the matrix ?
Diffuses through the matrix via the highly sulfation ground substance - high sulfation means increased binding to water- which allows the cartilage to act as a shock absorber…
52
What happens to mature cells when they become less active?
They shrink,
Because the matrix of both cartilage (and bone) is more or less rigid, it does not “shrink” with the cells, so, a small space remains around the cells called a lacuna.
53
What are isogenous cells?
Cells coming from the same mother cell
cell groups are also called “NEST” cells
54
What is perichondrium?
Connective tissue covering, that is found surrounding all types of elastic cartilage
55
T or F
All types of cartilage lack vascular supply
T,
Thus the chondrocytes receive nutrients by diffusion from capillaries that are found in the surrounding dense connective tissue (the perichondrium). For this reason, cartilage tends not to be Avery thick tissue. Further, the diffusion process requires motion to function properly..
56
What are young chondrocytes called?
Chondroblasts
57

60

61
T or F
The matrix is high in PGs and low in collagen type 3
F
The matrix is high in PGs and low in collagen TYPE 2
The matrix that is farther away from individual cells and is found in the space between the groups (lightly stained) is called the inter territorial matrix. The interterritorial matrix is high in collagen type 2; thus, PGs are proportionately low
62
Explain why we find more collagen type 2 fibers in the interterritorial matrix compared to the territorial matrix.
Collagen is a protein that is first secreted as tropocollagen. It undergoes fibrillogensis outside the cell. So, when the tropocollagen is first secreted, it is obviously going to be found in the immediate surrounding of the cells. As the cell secretes more and more matrix material, this tropocollagen is gradually pushed away from the cells and has had the chance to undergo fibrillogenesis. Thus you find more CT2 fibers in the interterritorial matrix compared to the territorial matrix.
63
Explain the process of Lacuna formation.
—>The perichondrium supples fresh chondroblasts
—> These chondroblasts are actively secreting matrix
—> As they are secreting more and more matrix, the cells are inevitably moving father away from each other
—> At the same time, these chondroblasts also undergo cell division and thus produce isogenous groups of cells. Now, all these cells will gradually be embedded in the cartilage tissue as they make more matrix around them.
—>the cells that reach this point will slow down in function and stop cell division
—> Now, they are called chondrocytes. As they slow their function, they SHRINK. Due to shrinkage, the cells leave a space around them called the LACUNA
