Q

this type of proteoglycan is used to bind type I collagen and TGF-B

connective tissue

1 GAG

18
Q

this type of proteoglycan is used for for cell adhesion and binding FGF

fibroblast and epithelial cells

1-3 GAGs

A

syndecan-1

19
Q

this final form of collagen is found in bone and resists mechanical stress in the x,y,z plane?

A

angled bundle

20
Q

this syndrome results from a mutation in the fibrillin gene, which could lead to a rupture in the aorta?

A

marfan’s syndrome

21
Q

why is a1-antitrypsin important?deficiency causes what?

A

lung elasticity

emphysema

22
Q

what are the phases for hair development?

A
alpha helix keratin
protofibril
microfibril
macrofibril
hair
23
Q

for elastin, what gives the elasticity? what are the ends rich in?

A

hydrophobic R groups

rich in alanine and lysine, form alpha helical arrays and cross link with other elastin molecules

24
Q

what is the effect of integrins triggering intracellular signal cascades?

A

binding to matrix alters gene expression

25
what are the primary noncellular components of bone?
``` collagen matrix mineral complex (hydroxyapatite) ground substance (chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronan) ```
26
what GAGs comprise the ground substance?
chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronan
27
what are the osteoclasts derived from? osteoblasts?
hematopoietic stem cell mesenchymal stem cells(osteoprogenitor cells)
28
this protein chaperones osteonectin unto collagen so that hydroxyapatite can form?
osteocalcin chaperones
29
the osteon contains this fluid type?
osteoid
30
what are the types of hormones that comprise the three hormones used in bone regulation?
parathyroid, polypeptide 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3, steroid protein calcitonin, polypeptide
31
this hormone is not essential in humans and acts to decrease plasma Ca+ and HPO4,2-?
calcitonin
32
the primary target of PTH is the bone, stimulated by decrease Ca+, this increases PTH what is the effect on the short term and long term? how does the secondary target affect Ca and HPO4,2-? overall net effect of primary and secondary targets?
increased osteoclast activity increased osteoclast numbers overall effect is increase in both plasma Ca and HPO4,2- proximal and distal tubules are affected from the kidney, Ca is retained in plasma, HPO4,2o is lost in the urine increase Ca and levels remain the same for HPO4,2-
33
what is the effect of PTH on the tertiary target (kidney)?
the proximal tubules are affected which adds the second OH- group to calcitriol and so you have increase in both Ca and HPO4,2-
34
what are the stages that cholesterol goes through to become 1,25-D3?
cholesterol 7-dehydro cholesterol in Gut then to Vit D3 in the skin, this become 25-D3 in the liver, than 1,25 D3 in the kidney because of increased PTH or decreased HPO4,2-, if non available than it becomes 24,25 D3
35
what happens when PTH and calcitriol is present?
PTH overrides 1,25 D3 kidney effect and so Ca2+ is retained
36
what does calcitonin primarily prevent?
postprandiol hypercalcemia
