CHAPTER 1-4 Flashcards
Malignant carcinoma
Arise from surface epithelia
• Adenocarcinomas
gland or epithelia ?
GLAND
Types of basement membrane
• BASAL LAMINA
electron-dense, sheet-like layer of fine fibrils
• RETICULAR LAMINA
diffuse and fibrous
contains TYPE III COLLAGEN and is bound to TYPE VII COLLAGEN
Perlecan
gives basal lamina a 3D-structure
- cross-link laminins to the type IV collagen
JUNCTIONS
INTEGRINS (binds to LAMININ) - Extracted with salt solution
- EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA / BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID
o skin blistering disorder
o Example: pemphigus vulgaris
o Hemidesmosomes
freeze fracture / cryofracture
zonula “Band encircling the cell”occludens
- ribbon-like area of fusion / leaflet
TIGHT JUNCTION
• Where ENTEROTOXIN secreted by C. perfringence (causes food poisoning) binds
- In tight junction
claudins
add ons:
occludins
zo protein
• Targeted by H. pylori (causes: GASTRIC ULCER)
in Tight junction
zo protein
compromised fetal blood–brain barrier in tight junction
occludins
E-CADHERIN (binds to CATENINS) protein link
belt desmosome
o Intermediate / anchoring junction / zonula adherens
• disk-shaped adhesive site / “SPOT-WELD”
o desmosome (macula adherens / binding body)
-protein link:
cadherin family: o desmogleins and desmocollins
o ALLOW TRANSFER OF ION CELL TO CELl
gap junction
causes DEAFNESS and PERIPHERAL NEUROPHATY in gap junction
connexin protein in connexon
finger-like projections with glycocalyx
microvilli
maintain the shape of the cilium (with axoneme)
• nexin (elastic protein)
Axonemes lacks ciliary dynei arms
abnormal ciliary beat
• Immotile cilia syndrome
most abundant To least abundant ECM
Connective (support and protection),
muscle(contraction; movement),
epithelial (lining; glandular secretion)
nervous
o Example: parotid gland
o gland where secretory cells release their contents by exocytosis.
merocrine gland
oExample: lactating mammary gland
o part of apical cytoplasm is released
apocrine glands
o example: sebaceous gland
o entire secretory cell
o content is released
holocrine
It mediates the linkage of molecules outside the cell with cytoskeletal elements inside the cell.
fibronectin
Cleavage of procollagen by procollagen
peptidases
collagen synthesis outside the cell
defect in the translation of
mRNA for type III collagen; ruptured bowel
Ehlers-Danlos type IV syndrome.
influences calcification of bone
osteonectin
a fibroblasts that migrates during wound healing
- manufactured by connective tissue cells
fibronectin
adhesive glycoprotein that links type IV
collagen with laminin in the lamina
entactin
main component of peripheral microfibrils in an elastic fiber
fibrillin
an organelles which divides by
fission
peroxisome
