The extra cellular matrix+bones Flashcards
function of ECM
provides structure and support of the body
fibroblast
loose connective tissue -surrounding glands and blood vessels
structure of fibroblast
collagen-is thick and elastin-is thin and mixing it together from the matrix
chondrocyte- cartilage
tissue constructed of matrix -surround by cartilage cells
cartilage cells
more dense and flexible than bone
osteocyte
bone
ECM 1st part
fibrous proteins:collagen and elastin -strength and flexibility
ECM 2nd part
hydrated gel-like matrix: protein polycharrid, which are called proteogylacans-glycoprotiens with glycosaminglygen linkages
collagen
rigid-contains collagen which are close together
elastin
multiple polypeptide
bones
structure support and attachment sites for body -helps store minerals
osteogenesis
formation of bone-secretes matrix
hydroxyapitate
calcium +phosphate crystals -are in collagen fibres made by osteocytes
2 types of bone
1.cortical:compact -strong and dense
2.cancellous:spongy -network of trabecula less dense compared to cortical
osteocytes
small chambers called lacunae and are linked by canaliculi and form rings called lamellae around haverian canal which houses blood vessels
