16
Q

which ECM products resist compressive forces
A type1 collagen, elastin, fibronectin
B type 2 collagen. aggrecan, hyaluronan
C type3 collagen, pectic acid, link protein
D type4 collagen, laminin, hyaluronan

A

OPTION b
type 2 collgagen found in cartildge
>gel hold water which prevents spread of disease and gives compressive resitance,
> aggregan aggregates hyaloronan into long chains producing a large swelling pressure

17
Q
which is made of fibrocartilidge?
A articular surface of knee joint
B suture joint of skulls
C intervetebral disc
D tracheal rings
A

OPTION C

> rest of them are hyaline cartilge

18
Q
which cell type makes ECM of loose connective tissue, tendons, ligaments
A chondrocyte
B fibroblast
C mast cell
D mesenchymal cell
A

OPTION B
> mast cell is immune cell
> mesenchymal cell are stem cells

19
Q

define ‘’ intramembranous ossficiation’’
A blood vessels invade developing tissue
B bone forms directly after condensation of mesenchymal cell
C bone forms from mesenchymal cell after a layer of cartilidge
D bone forms on membranes of precursor cells of osteocytes

A

OPTION B
> without cartildge is intramembranous differentiate into osteoblasts

> enochondrial ossification is mesenchymal–> cartilidge –> then bone! (option C)

20
Q

function of epipyseal plate?

A

elongate the growth of long bones!

21
Q

What is the true of collenchyma tissue in plants?
A Cells themselves are dead
B Can expand and elongate to accommodate growing tissues
C Important in wound repair
D Long slender cells
E Photosynthetic cells

A

OPTION B
Collenchyma is composed of thick, living cells and is found in the epidermis of stems and leaves.
> provides structural support for young growing tissues and can therefore expand to accommodate growing tissues

22
Q
Which of the following is not a function of connective tissue cells?
A Degrade extracellular matrix 
B Make extracellular matrix
C Sense loading on extracellular matrix
D Modify matrix according to load
A

OPTION A

23
Q

where is pseudostatified epithleium found?

A

lines the repspiratory tract and lungs as its one layer so close to the blood supply
> also has cillia to waft mucus to tharynx

24
Q
which type of epithia are good in active transport
A simple squamous
B cuboidal
C columnar
D stratified squamous non-k
E stratified squamous keratinised
A

cuboidal and collumnar - have lots of mitch, golgi and lysosome to pump cells

25
Q
Which of these is NOT an example of a immigrant cell?
A Pericyte
B Endothelial cell
C Monocyte
D Lymphocyte
E Plasma cells
A

option B

this is a resident cell so stays in the same place

26
Q

Dense fibrous connective tissue provides mechanical strength. There are two types of dense fibrous
connective tissue. Which of these is NOT true?
A Tendons and ligaments are an example of regular dense fibrous connective tissue
B Dermis is an example of irregular dense fibrous connective tissue
C Regular is characterised by parallel bundles of collagen fibres
D Irregular is characterised by woven bundles of collagen fibres
E Irregular is characterised by parallel bundles of collagen fibres

A

OPTION E
common sense - irregular wouldn’t be parallel
> regular = tendon | irregualr = dermis

27
Q

what is the function of squamous epithelium?

A

acts as a filter

aslo very thin so has short diffusion pathway so useful in blood vessels

28
Q

what is the middle lamella made of? how does this help with forming a gel?

A

PECTIN which has high electrostatic charge = attract polar H20 making ECM compression resistant
> Ca2+ and Mg2+ helps with hydration too

29
Q

which type of collagen arranges it into tropocollagen?

A

TYPE 3 COLLAGEN - trimer / three

> alpha helix chains arranged in a trimer = strength and can from fibrils and fibres (like rope)

30
Q

what is the secondary cell wall made of
A cellulose, hemicellulose, and glycoproteins

C cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, glycoproteins and polysaccharides
D cellulose, lignin, and polysaccharides
E cellulose, lignin, glycoproteins and polysaccharides

A

OPTION D
no enzymes or proteins in seocndary cell wall
> lignin is less permeanble and less flexible (e.g. wood is mostly secondary cell wall)

31
Q

Which statements about meristems is false?
