IMMS: Week 6 Flashcards
How can metabolic acidosis take place
Due to excess production of organic acids (usual cause) or reduced levels of HCO3- to buffer H+ ions
Reduced arterial oxygen content
Hypoperfusion
Diabetic ketoacidosis
How can metabolic alkalosis take place
Excessive re-absorption of HCO3- ions
Excess H+ secretion at tubules
What cells produce bone and cartilage
Chondrocytes and chondroblasts
What fibres do bone and cartilage consist of
Collagen and elastic fibres
What is the bone matrix made of
GAG
Why are collagen fibres arranged parallel to each other
Gives extra strength
What is the role of osteoblasts
Synthesise bone
Role of osteoclasts
Resorb bone and aid in remodelling
Role of osteocytes
Break down bone and aid remodelling bone
What is the first type of bone to be synthesised
Woven bone
What happens to woven bone
Remodelled to lamellar bone which is lighter and stronger
What two ways can bone formation occur
Membrane: Formed directly in a mesenchyme
Endochondral: Formed by replacement of cartilage
Where are osteons found
In the compact bone
What is appositional deposition of bone
Deposition of bones in layers on external surface of bones
What is stratified epithelia needed for
Protective function and composed of many cell layers
It is a WATERPROOF layer
How many layers are there in pseudo stratified epithelia
1
Cells are all joined to the basement membrane
What does the epithelia need a basement membrane for
Survival
What is the basement membanre made of
Type IV collagen and fibronectin
