HISTO: Cartilage, Bone Flashcards
What is a general characteristic of cartilage
- abundant ECM o type 2 fibrils
- no vascular
- GAGs
What is function of cartilage
mechanical stress, diffusion, weight, shock absorber, model for bone
types of cartilage:
hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage
characteristic of hyaline cartilage
matrix containing type II collagen fibers
elastic cartilage characteristic
elastic fibers and lamellae in addition to hyaline
fibrocartilage charateristic
abundant type I collagen fibers in addition to hyaline
hyaline collagen matrix is synthesized by
chondrocytes
types of molecules that make hyaline cartilage matrix
collagen
proteoglycans
multiadhesive glycoproteins
which collagen fibers are used in hyaline cartilage
type 2**
type 9, 11
type 6, 10
which proteoglycans are found in hyaline cartilage
GAGs:
AGGRECAN
hyaluronan
chondroitin sulfate
The most important proteoglycan monomer in hyaline cartilage is
aggrecan - water affinity
which multiadhesive proteins are found in hyaline cartilage
anchorin CII - collagen receptor on chondrocytes
fibronectin and tenascin - anchor chondrocytes to matrix
chondrocytes function:
produce and maintain the extracellular matrix
cell line from mesenchymal cell in cartilage:
growing cartilage - chondroblast - chondrocytes
function of chondroblast
secrete ecm and form lacuna
chondrocytes secrete:
matrix and MMP (degrades matrix) proteoglycans
what is an insterstitial growth - isogenous group
mitotic activity
what TF triggers cell differentiation into chondroblasts which secrete matrix
SOX-9
what are the types of cartilage growth
appositional and interstitial
3 components layers of hyaline cartilage matrix
intrterritorial matrix - fibrils
territorial matrix - collagen 2, 9, protegylcans
capsular matrix - proteoglycans, collagen 6, 9
which type cartilage forms model of skeleton in fetus
hyaline cartilage as growth plstes
what type of hyaline cartilage is in adults
articular cartilage - synovial and costal, nasal, bronchi, larynx
why is hyaline cartilage highly hydrated
resilience and diffusion of small metabolites
how can cartilage repair occur
if perichondrium is involved, type I collagen
Cartilage at the proximal and distal end of the bone serves as growth sites called
epipheseal growth plates
Hyaline cartilage of articular joint surfaces do not posses
perichondrium
Degenerative joint disease related to aging
ostheoarthritis
what plays important part in ostheoarthritis
chondrocytes: produce interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor a, so type II colagen is inhibited
is a more severe form where the immune system attacks the cartilage, bone and synovial membrane
rheumatoid arthritis
what does elastic cartilage form
auricles, auditory tube larynx
elastic cartilage differs from hyalin because
larger chondrocytes, yellowish, does not calcifty, less matrix
Elastic cartilage is distinguished by the presence of
elastin in cartilage matrix
which cartilage need specialized tint to view
elastic cartilage
what does fibrocartilafe form
IV discs, symphisis pubis, knee joint
what is fibrocartilage composed of
dense regular connective tissue and hyaline cartilage
what makes fibrocartilage different than hyaline and elastic
no perichondrium present
what type of collagen is fibrocartilage
type I mainly and type II
in older age. fibrocartilage is mostly collagen type:
II because of metabolic activity of chondrocytes
a proteoglycan monomer secreted by fibroblasts in fibrocartilage
versican
more than aggrecan (hyaline)
