Q

What are the functions of tight junctions?

A

Electrically tight: prevents movement of ions and proteins through them, allows for different polarities at different ends of cell which allows for different activities. Also acts as selective barrier

Q

What are adherens junctions?

A

Contain plaque (dense layer of protein) that contains microfilaments and cadherins. Cadherins span the gap between cells and bind to cadherin of adjacent cell. Cadherins are bound to actin by catenins. Conjugation of adherens junctions may form a adhesion belt

Q

What are desmosomes?

A

Contains plaque with intermediate filaments and cadherins. Cadherins span the gap and bind to cadherins of adjacent cell. Cadherins are bound to keratin which spans from one desmosome to desmosome on other side of cell (for structual integrity)

Q

What are gap junctions?

A

6 connexin proteins molecules form tiny fluid filled tunnels called connexons that connect cells. Membranes not fused so there is a gap between cells that allows for small molecules (less than 1kDa) through. Some substances can migrate between cells via connexons and they allow for communication between cells via both electrical and chemical communication

44
Q

What is ECM made of?

A

GS + protein fibres

45
Q

What is GS made of?

A

Water, proteins and polysaccharides

46
Q

What is the function of the GS?

A

Supports cells and binds them together, provides medium of exchange between blood and cells, active role in how tissues develop, migrate, change shape and carry out metabolic functions

47
Q

What are GAGs?

A

Glycosaminoglycans

48
Q

What is the function of GAGs?

A

Trap water and makes GS more jelly like

49
Q

What are the 4 GAGs?

A

Chondroitin sulphate, keratan sulphate, dermatan sulphate and hyluronic acid

50
Q

How is hyluronic acid different?

A

It doesn’t bind to core protein to form a proteoglycan

51
Q

What is the function of hyluronic acid?

A

Viscous slippery substance that binds cells together, lubricates joints and maintains shape of eyeballs

52
Q

What is hyluronidase?

A

Enzyme that breaks down hyluronic acid making the GS more liquid. Used by WBCs, sperm and bacteria

A

Bone, cartilage, skin and blood vessles

54

56
Q

What is expothalmus?

A

Disease where eyes protrude and causes goitre (swelling of thyroid) due to desposition of GAGs and influx of water

57
Q

What are the 3 types of fibres?

A

Collagen, reticular and elastic

58
Q

What are reticular fibres made of?

A

Collagen coated with glycoprotein. Thinner than collagen fibres

59
Q

Where would one find reticular fibres?

A

Walls of blood vessels, adipose tissue, areolar tissue, nerve tissue, smooth muscle tissue, basement membrane, stroma (supporting framework of organs)

60
Q

What are elastic fibres made of?

A

Elastin surrounded by glycoprotein fibrillin

61
Q

What is Marfan’s syndrome?

A

Dominant mutation in chromosome 15 which is the gene coding for fibrillin. Changes the shape of it so transforming growth factor beta can no longer bind to it making it inactive. People with this disease tend to be tall, long limbed, have abnormal chest cavities and may suffer from weak heart and arterial walls

62
Q

What are the main cells in CT?

A

Fibroplasts, apidocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, mast cells and leucocytes

63
Q

What do fibroblasts do?

A

Present in most CT, can migrate between tissues. Secrete fibres and components of GS

64
Q

What are fixed macrophages?

A

Dust cells = in lungs, Kupffer cells = in liver, langerhan’s cells = in skin, and in spleen
