23
Q

What happens when you don’t get enough vitamin C

A

-Collagen fibers break down -Scurvy

24
Q

What disease results from the mutation of the glycine in collagen?

A

Osteogensis Imperfecta

25
Q

Is procollagen soluble inside the cell?

A

Yes

26
Q

Is collagen soluble outside of the cell?

A

No

27
Q

What enzyme cleaves the nonhelical terminal peptides, thus allowing collagen to aggregate into collagen fibrils?

A

Procollagen Peptidase

28
Q

What reaction reinforces the fibrillar collagen structure? What enzyme catalyzes this reaction?

A

covalent cross-links between collagen molecules, catalyzed by the enzyme lysyl oxidase

29
Q

What makes reticular fibers different from collagen fibers?

A

-They are highly glycosylated (Collagen III) -They cover organs, Bone marrow, and muscle matrix

30
Q

What are elastic fibers made of?

A

-Elasitn deposited on to fibrillin scaffold

31
Q

What prevents Elastase from breaking down elastic fibers in the lungs?

A

Alpha 1-antitrypsin

32
Q

What happens if Alpha 1-antitrypsin is unable to inhibit elastase?

A

Emphysema

33
Q

What are the 3 types of structural/functional macromolecules that make up Ground Substance?

A

-glycosaminoglycans -Proteoglycans -Multiadhesive Glycoprotiens

34
Q

What are glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)?

A

-A type of macromolecule that forms Ground Substance -It is a repeating disaccharide of hexoseamine + uronic

35
Q

What is Hyaluronic acid?

A

it is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) -It functions as lubrication in the Ground Substance -sequesters water like a sponge

36
Q

What kinds of connective tissue cells originate from mesenchymal cells?

A

-fibroblasts -adipocytes -chontrocytes -osteoblasts

37
Q

What builds ECM???

A

Mesenchymal Cells!!

38
Q

What type of collagen is found in cartilage?

A

Type II collagen

39
Q

Where are reticular fibers found?

A

-covering organs -Bone Marrow -muscle matrix

40
Q

What proteoglycan presents as a transmembrane protein?

A

Syndecan

41
Q

What proteoglycan presents as an ECM protein?

A

Aggrecan

42
Q

What do proteoglycans do?

A

sequester growth factors in the ECM

43
Q

What are proteyglycans made out of?

A

proteins + GAG

44
Q

What do multiadhesive glycoproteins do?

A

adhere cells to the basal lamina

45
Q

What is fibronectin?

A

-Multiadhesive glycoprotein -binds collagen, GAGs, and integrins on cells

46
Q

What is Laminin?

A

-a multiadhesive glycoprotein -binds epithelia to collagen IV in Basal Lamina

47
Q

What are the functions of integrin?

A

-Cell adhesion -Cell Orientation in its environment

48
Q

What are two histological types of adult Connective tissue?

A

-Loose Areolar -Dense

49
Q

What is contained within Loose areolar connective tissue?

53
Q

Where is regular dense adult connective tissue found?

A

-Tendons

54
Q

What is contained within irregular dense adult connective tissue?

A

-few cells -large amount of random Type 1 collagen

55
Q

Where is irregular dense adult connective tissue found?

A

-Reticular dermis -periosteum -perichondrium -epineurium –epimysium
