Question 5

What are the functions of the ECM

Answer 5

Structural scaffolding- fibrillar collagen
Selective barrier- type IV collagen
Guide cell migration
Elasticity- elastin
Holding water- proteoglycans
Regulation of cell survival 
Regulation of cell proliferation 
Regulator of GF activities

Question 6

what systems stimulate cells

Answer 6

Endocrine
Paracrine
Autocrine

Question 7

What is endocrine

Answer 7

cells secrete a hormone into the vascular system (systemically) which then reaches its target cells
Ex; Steroid hormones

Question 8

what is paracrine

Answer 8

cells secrete a hormone which diffuses to a nearby target cell.
Ex. wound healing, GF
Immune system; cytokine

Question 9

What is autocrine

Answer 9

same cell both produces and responds to a given hormonal signal.
Ex. Immune system; IL-2 produced by T lymphocytes stimulates proliferation of T lymphocytes.

Question 10

What are common features in GF and cytokines

Answer 10

they are protein hormones that affect cell behavior by binding to high affinity plasma membrane receptors.

ECM

Question 17

What does TGF-beta do

Answer 17

controls proliferation, differentiation.

inhibition of osteoblast differentiation

osteoclasts?

Question 22

Fibrillin-1
