Upper cephalic vein and axillary vein
Give four functions of the ECM.
- Scaffold for tissue development

- Provides cell signals
- Reservoir for growth factors
- Cell migrating
Give an example of fibril collagen
I, II, III, V
Give an example of Hexagonal collagen
X, VII
Give an example of Meshwork collagen
IV
Give an example of Facit collagen
IX, XII, XXII
Give an example of Bead collagen
VI
Which vitamin is essential for collagen synthesis?
Vitamin C
Which type of collagen is found in the nucleus fibrosis?
Type II
What repeating units is preprocollagen made of?
Glycine - X - Y
X is commonly proline and Y is commonly lysine.
Describe the process of collagen synthesis in the body
The hydroxylation of the proline/lysine. Then glycosylation to form the pro-collagen. There is the creation of hydrogen and disulphide bonds, forming a triple helix.
The collagen is transferred to the Golgi and the tropocollagen is cleaved. Tropocollagen is reinforced with lysine covalent bonds, forming collagen.
What cells make collagen?
Fibroblasts
What collagen is affected in Osteogenesis imperfecta?
Type one
Is Osteogenesis imperfecta dominant or recessive?
Dominant
What process has gone wrong in collage synthesis to cause Osteogenesis imperfecta?
Glycosylation

Type one and three

Type four
What are the consequences of Alports syndrome?
Kidney affected, deafness and eye abnormalities.
What is the function of HSP 47?
Allows collagen to be secreted singly
What type of cartilage is found in the Epiglottis?
Elastic
What type of cartilage is found in the Nose?
Hyaline
What type of cartilage is found in the Meniscus?
Fibrocartilage
What type of cartilage is found in the trachea?
Hyaline
What are the functions of cartilage?
- articulation with smooth lubricated surfaces
- facilitate load transmission
- lower friction
What is the composition of cartilage?
5% = Cells
95% = ECM: - 70% water and mineral
- 30% organic: collagen, proteoglycan, protien
Give an example of an NSAID and explain why they shouldn’t be used for long term cartilage treatment.
Ibuprofen. Diclofenac.
They may cause cartilage damage.
What is the myotendinous junction?
Where muscle meets collagen. There is thin filaments interdigitating with collagen.
Why may there many collagen deposits present in the osteotendinous junction?
There are periosteal fibroblasts present in the osteotendinous junction which are precursors of chondrocytes and tenocytes.
What is the difference between sheath tendons and paratenon?
Sheath tendons have a poor blood supply. They are found in wrist flexors and have mesothial cells to give them fluidity.
Paratendons are not as lubricated and have more blood.
What are the proprioceptors located in tendon called?
Golgi tendon organs
What is the composition of tendons?
20% cellular and 80% ECM.
The ECM is 70& water and 30% solids (collagen and GAGs and proteoglycans)
What functions to the endotendium and peritendon serve?
The endotendium covers the fascicle and the paritenon covers the whole tendon,
What is the condition when a tendon pulls away?
Avulsion
In tendon healing, how many days does the first process (inflammation) take?
0-7 days
In tendon healing, how many days does the second process (repair) take?
3-60 days
In tendon healing, how many days does the third phase (remodelling) take?
28-180 days
Describe the first stage of tendon healing
INFLAMMATION: erythrocytes, platelets and inflammatory cells migrate from the epitendinous tissues and endotendon. The tissue is filled with granulation tissue, haematoma ad tissue debris, Matrix proteins are laid down for collage synthesis.
Describe the second stage of tendon healing.
REPAIR: tenocytes migrate and synthesise collage III. This is made very quickly and laid down randomly. Intrinsic fibroblasts then proliferate and synthesize/ resorb collagen to form a tendon callus. There is a switch to collagen one and this is orientated along the line of force. There is vascualr ingrowth via collagen/fibronectin scaffolding.
Describe the third stage of tendon healing.
This is where final stability is obtained and there is cross-linking with fibrils to increases strength. Complete regeneration is never obtained.
