Q

How does the reaction that is usd to make collagen used to control oxygen?

A

the reaction with vitamin C to make the hydroxylates also uses oxygen and so it can be a mechanism for sensing normoxia and hypoxia

Q

Describe the construction of Collagen I fibers..

A

Tropocollagen is packed into overlaping layers that make alpha chains that are then wrapped together into fibrils, and then these are packed into fibers, and fibers are packed into bundles that make up structures such as tendons

Q

How is Type II collagen structure different from type I?

A

it has tropocollagen layered into tropocollagen sheets that is wrapped into triples of alpha chains that are packed together to make fibrils (just like type I). Type II then stays as a fine mesh like structure of fibrils

Q

what gives hyaline cartilage matrix its high tensile strength and resiliency?

A

huge proteoglycan aggregates bind a considerable amount of water and ions, giving the matrix these properties.

Q

Describe the contents of the Hyaline cartilage matrix

A

The proteoglycan aggregates, GAGs and Proteoglycans (e.g. AGGRECAN) along with: Bound water; and Type II collagen fibrils; and chondronectin that attaches cells to ECM, and finally Chondrocytes that turnover and replace matrix.

22
Q

how much of the wieght of the hyaline cartilage would be water?

A

75-80%

23
Q

What is the main fiber in hyaline cartilage matrix

A

Type II collagen fibrils (40-70% dry weight)

24
Q

Attaches the cells to ECM in Hyaline cartilage…?

A

Chondronectin

25
Q

What turns over and replaces the matrix of hyaline cartilage

A

the condrocytes do! proteoglycan turnover: weeks and type II collagen: years

26
Q

the type of cartilage that is not surrounded by perichondrium

A

articular cartilage

27
Q

The surrounding around most permanent hyaline cartilage

A

perichondrium

28
Q

WHAT IS perichondrium made of?

A

Type I collagen fibers

29
Q

the source of the progenitor cells for cartilage

A

the perichondrium is the source of chondrogenic cells (progenitors) and chondroblasts for growth of new cartilage and repair.

30
Q

the progenitor cells of collagen

A

chondrogenic cells

31
Q

What will supply the nutrients and remove waste in the cartilage?

A

the vasculature of the perichondrium…therefore limit thickness and repair

32
Q

The cavities where the chondrocytes reside

A

the lacunae

33
Q

The functions of Cartilage

A

Support soft tissue; shck absorber; low friction surface; model of skeleton

33
Q

A group of Chondrocytes in the cartilage is what?

A

the cell mass in the lacuna is called a Cell nest or isoginous group.

35
Q

the cartilage cells that come form the perichondrium

A

chondrogenic cells and chondroblasts

36
Q

How do you get multiple chondrocytes clumped together in the cartilage.

A

the chondrocytes will undergo division and all of the cells in one lacuna are clones!

37
Q

What do chondroblasts and young chondrocytes secrete?

A

ECM

38
Q

The chondroblats move into the cartilage and become…

A

chondrocytes

39
Q

The dark staining area around the lacuna in the cartilage

A

The territorial matrix

40
Q

What is found in the territorial matrix in cartilage that makes it stain dark?

A

Rich in GAGs, stains darker

41
Q

A dark staining streak inbetween chondrocytes in the lucana

A

Septum

42
Q

The lighter colored area outside of the territorial matrix in a cartilage

A

The interterritorial matrix

43
Q

What are the two types of cartilage growth?

A

Appositional growth and interstitial growth

44
Q

What is appostitional growth

A

chondroblasts in perichondrium differentiate into chondrocytes, start producing matrix and add to existing cartilage.

45
Q

what is interstitial growth

A

proliferation and hypertrophy of existing chondrocytes.

46
Q

If the Articular cartilage does not have a perichondrium, then where does repair come form?

A

resident chondrocytes serve as progenitors but does not repair quickly at all.

47
Q

where do we find articular cartilage?

A

Lines the joints…outside of it is the synovial fluid.

48
Q

How do you identify elastic cartilage?

A

it will have elastic fibers, and has more cells then matrix…more cellular, but the isogenous groups have fewer cells per group.

49
Q

Where would you find elastic cartilage

A

auricle of ear, eustachian tubes, epiglottis, larynx

50
Q

how would you identify the fibrocartilage?

A

very little ground substance, mostly fibers, lots of type I collagen, along with type II; no perichondrium, fibrocartilage merges with adjacent tissue

51
Q

What is the classic area of figrocartilage?

A

in the pubic symphysis…right up to and fused with the bone! and the intervertebral disks.

52
Q

the components of intervertebral disks

A

It has hyaline cartilage on the body of the vertebra and then anulus fibrosus that is fibrocartilage; and in the middle is the nucleus pulposus.

53
Q

What is the nucleus pulposus?

A

a liquid form of fibrocartilage, with more proteoglycans and water than in the annulus fibrosus.

54
Q

Describe the composition of fibrocartilage in the pubic symphysis if I zoom up close…

A

Chondrocytes surrounded by lots of collagen fibers in strands and bundles. Looks like purple spots and areas surrounded by red ropes!
