A

ECM

33
Q

type of pressure produced by ECM that allow tissues to resist compressive forces

A

Turgor Pressure

34
Q

most abundant protein in body; main type is type I

A

collagen

36
Q

cells that produce collagen

A

fibroblast

37
Q

steps in collagen synthesis:

A
  1. produced in fibroblasts and procollagen exits
  2. Pro is cleaved forming tropocollagen
  3. Pro/Lys hydroxylation and crosslink forming collagen fibrils
  4. collagen fibers formed from crosslinking collagen fibrils
38
