Histology And Physioligy Flashcards
Scurvy is caused by what connective tissue disfunction
Vitamin C deficiency- cross linking deficiency
Ehlers Danlos connective tissue deficiency…..
Abnormal collagen synthesis
Collagen triple helix is made with …..
2 alpha 1 fibers
1 alpha 2 fiber
Marfan’s syndrome caused by what connective tissue deficiency….
Mutation in fibrillin causing weak elastin.
Stretchy skin, weak valves/blood vessels, long limbs.
Embryonic connective tissue is…..more ECM than Cell or more cell than ECM
More ECM than cell
Adult mesenchynal cells can form 5 different cell types
Fibroblast Muscle cells Osteoblast Chondroblast Adipocyte
3 loose connective tissues
3 dense connective tissue
Areolar
Adipose
Reticular
Dense irregular
Dense regular
Elastic
Loose connective tissue function/location
Hold body fluid, defend infection
Beneath membranous epithelial, around BV, muscle, nerves
Function location of adipose tissue
Energy source, insulation, cushion of body/organs
Under skin, around organs.
Reticular tissue function and location
Open framework to hold/slow cells
In liver, bone marrow, spleen
Dense regular tissue function and location
Provided tense strength in the direction of the fibers.
Tendon, ligament, aponeurosis, joint capsule
Elastic tissue function and location
Provided recoil strength back to normal
Elastic blood vessel(aorta, pulmonary artery), bronchioles
Dense irregular tissue function and location
Give overall general support and strength in multiple directions. Prevent shearing.
Dermis of skin, capsules around organs, fascia, perichondrium and periosteum
2 organization patterns of actin and function/location
Actin bundles- long parrellel chains
-make villi, contractile fibers(muscle cells)
Actin networks- loosely cross linked arrays of 3D mesh
- form general shape of cells(blood cells)
- Allow phagocytosis/protrusions of cell shape
Fimbrin vs alpha actinin vs filamin
Fimbrin- very tight parellel segments(micro villa)
Actinin- hold filaments farther apart to make room for motor proteins(myosin)/ contractile bundles
Filamin- binds actin as a crosslinked/perpendicular diner for networks/sheets
Hereditary spherocytosis cause/symptoms
Mutation of spectrum/ankyrin
No binding of actin network to the cell membrane
RBC cell shape ruined and cells die premature
Jaundice,anemia,spenomegaly
Skeletal muscle uses which myosin?
Vesicle Myosin?
Head vs neck vs tail
Myosin 2
Myosin 5
Head= bind actin and ATP
Neck- produce force/length determines speed of contraction
- contains light chain region for REGULATION
Tail- binds materials as needed (vesicles transport)
Duchene muscular dystrophy
Cause, mechanism, symptoms
Mutations in gene(in frame =less sever Becker’s, out frame = worse duchene)
Force of myosin can not be transfered to cell membrane and basal lamina= no movement
Muscular wasting= respiratory failure about 22 years old
Intrafusal vs extrafusal fibers
1 sensory fiber? 2 motor fibers?
Intrafusal fiber- deep in muscle to sense stretch.
- send signal via Type 1a nerve fiber
- contract via type G nerve fiber
Extrafusal fiber- regular muscle fiber
- contract via type A nerve fiber
Which. Nerve type is from neural crest?
Pseudounipolar nerve
Cartilage features x5
Most common fiber type and others seen?
- semirigid tissue of cells and ECM
- ECM contains collagen and elastin
- flexible, yet supportive
- no Vasculature
- no nerves
Most commonly type 2 collagen
Some type 1 in fibrocartilage/outer perichondrium
3 types of cartilage
Hyaline- surrounded by perichondrium
-articulate cartilage, ribs, larynx,trachea, embryo development
Elastic- surrounded by perichondrium
-external ear, epiglottis
Fibrocartilage- No perichondrium, some type 1 collagen
- fibers oriented in direction of strength
- intervertebral disc, public symphysis, TMJ
Territorial vs inter-territorial matrix
Territorial- some collagen and many proteoglycans
- directly around chondrocytes
Inter territorial- more collagen type 2 and less proteoglycans
- less intense staining further from cells
Perichondrium is…..2 layers……
Dense irregular connective tissue
Has Vasculature/inner action
Source of the new cartilage cells
Fibrous layer- more vascularized that makes the type 1 collagen
Chondrogenic later- inner layer that turns j to chondrovlasts
Makes type 2 collagen
Appositional vs interstitial growth of cartilage
Apositonal- new cartilage on the surface, chondrogenic layer or perichondrium
Interstitial- growth within existing lacunae from existing chondrocytes.
Cartilage repair
- “Repair cartilage”layered down from perichondrium
- made from hyaline and fibrous cartilage
- first step in healing bone fractures.
Two Synoviocytes
Type A- macrophage like
- clears debris
Type B- fibroblast like
- produce synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish articulate cartilage
Articulate Cartilege Layers (4)
Collagen fibers run perpendicular to the tissues forming an “arch”
Superficial/tangential layer
Intermediate/transitional zone
Deep/radial zone
Calcified zone
Cell histology of articulation cartilage superficial zone
- small flattened cells parellel to surface
- very top is devoid of cells and only has collagen fibers (very dark stain)
Intermediate zone histology of articulation cartilege
Cells Slightly larger/rounder than superficial
Collagen fibers move obliquely/angled
Deep zone articulate cartilage histology
Large chondrocytes stacked in radial columns
Collagen fibers run same direction
Calcified zone of articulation cartilege histology
- Rests on the underlying bone
- Matrix slightly darker stained due to extra elastin and hyaline be fibers
