Q

what is hyaluronidase

A

it is an enzyme which is produced by white blood cells, sperm and some bacteria. It makes the ground substance more liquid so they can move more easily.

Q

Describe how they ground substance is made up

A

Glycosaminoglycans are covalently bonded to a protein core which is bonded to a glycoprotein link, which attatches to the hyaluronic acid.. The GAGs and the protein core make up the proteoglycan.

Explain Marfan Syndrome

A

Dominant mutation for chromosme 15
which codes for fibrillin
fibrillin is a large scaffolding protein for elastin
symptoms are that individuals are tall, long limbed, with a chest deformity, they may have weakened heart valves or retrial walls,

25
what is chondroitin sulphate used for?
support | provides the adhesive features of cartilage, bone skin and blood vessels
26
what is keratin sulphate used for?
found in bone cartilage corner of eye
27
what is dreamt sulphate used for?
found in skin, tendons, blood vessels and heart valves
28
what type of connective tissue gives rise to all other connective tissues?
mesenchymal tissue
29
Explain the three types of LOOSE connective tissue
loose connective tissue all have few fibres and lots of cells ARELOAR contains all three fibres, collagen, elastin and reticular ADIPOSE are derived from fibroblasts and are adipocytes - come in white (for energy storage) and brown (for insulation) forms RETICULAR are reticular fibres that bind smooth muscle tissues and removes worn out blood cells in spleen and microbes in lymph node.
30
Explain the three types of DENSE connective tissue
has lots of fibres and fewer cells REGULAR regularly arranged collagen e.g. tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, IRREGULAR irregularly arranged and pulling in all directions ELASTIC elastic fibres found in lung tissue and elastic artery walls
31
Explain the three types of CARTILAGE connective tissue
ELASTIC - threadlike network of elastic fibres HYALINE - dense network of collagen and elastic fibres FIBROCARTILAGE - (strongest) thick bundles of collagen
32
What is a Lamellae
concentric rings of mineral salts for hardness (e.g. calcium phospahte and calcium hydroxide which together form hydroxyapetite, and collagen for strength)
33
What is Lacunae
means lake -- small spaces between lamellae that contain mature bone cells (osteocytes)
34
What is Canaliculi
minute canals that radiate from lacunae and provide routes for oxygen, nutrients and waste
35
What is dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds anatomical muscles
Epimysium
36
What is dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds fascicles
Perimysium
37
What is Endomysium
AREOLAR connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fibre
38
Describe what cardiac muscle tissue looks like
striated connected via intercalated discs which contain desmosomes and gap junctions involuntary muscle tissue one nuclei per cell
39
Describe what smooth muscle tissue looks like and works
spindle shaped one nuclei per cell non-striated still made of actin and myosin, actin attaches to dense bodies and so do intermediate filaments (such as keratin) and the cell rotates and contracts
40
Explain the three activities of the nervous tissue
SIM card Sensory (detection of internal and external stimuli and transfer to CNS) Integrative (analyiss and storing of info) Motor (stimulation of effectors through PNS)
41
Explain function of astrocytes
``` CNS neuroglia support and repair communciation maintanence e.g. regulating ions maintains blain blood barrier ```
42
Explain function of oligodendrocytes
forms myelin sheath around CNS axons
43
Explain function of Microglia
Phagocytotic
44
Explain function of Ependymal cells
Produce cerebrospinal fluid, which acts as a mechanical buffer as it moves nutrients and wastes. Cerebrospinal fluid lines the central canal of the spinal cord. They are cuboidal cells with cilia and microvilli
45
Explain function of Shwaan cells
forms myelin sheath around axons in the PNS
46
Explain function of Satellite cells
surrounds cell bodies and supports fluid exchange
47
What are macrophages? And where are the fixed and wandering types found in connective tissue?
Phagocytic cells Fixed:alveolar tissue; spleen Wandering:sites of infections, inflammation, injury
48
What are plasma cells?
From b lymphocytes and they produce antibodies found in many connective tissues e.g. gut and lung, salivary glands, lymph nodes etc.
49
What are mast cells?
produce histamines that dilates vessels and is found alongside blood vessels
50

Where are examples where simple branched alveolar are found?
sebeaceuous oil glands
52
Where are examples where compound tubular, compound alveolar and compound tubuloalveolar are found?
compound tubular - seminiferous tubules, mucous glands in mouth, compound alveolar - mammary glands compound tubuloalveolar - salivary glands, pancreas
53
list the order of bone cell tissue maturation and each of their functions
osteogenic cells - mesenchymal stem cells that develop into osteoblasts- bone-forming cells ostecytes - mature bone cells osteoclasts - formed from monocytes and they break down bone
54
What are the roles of erythrocytes?
Transport oxygen and carbon dioxide
55
Name four different types of leukocytes and their functions
Leukocytes combat disease: i. Neutrophils and monocytes (macrophages) are phagocytic, engulfing bacteria. ii. Basophils release substances (e.g. histamine) that intensify the inflammatory reaction. iii. Eosinophils are effective against certain parasitic worms and in acute allergic response . iv. Lymphocytes are involved in the immune response.
56
Name the components that make up the connective tissue blood
blood plasma, erthryocytes, leukocytes, platelets
57
What is EPO
Erythropoietin is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the interstitial fibroblasts in kidney • It signals for erythropoiesis in bone marrow. • The increased activity of a Hemocytoblasts (RBC stem cell) causes more RBC production which allows the blood to have a greater carrying capacity for oxygen.
58
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the mesothelium?
simple squamous
59
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the interior of the heart?
simple squamous
60
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the anterior surface of the capsule of the lens of the eye
simple cuboidal
61
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the interior of the fallopian tubes
ciliated simple columnar
62
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the mouth and covers the tongue?
stratifies squamous
63
What is the classification and arrangement of: | epithelium that lines the ducts of adult sweat glands?
stratified cuboidal
64
What structure do motor and interneurons uptake?
mostly multipolar
65
