25
The extracellular matrix is formed by proteins that do what?
* mechanical support * sequester water and minerals * regulate proliferation
26
What does the extracellular matrix consist of?
structural proteins & adhesive glycoproteins
27
What are the fibrous proteins in the extracellular matrix?
collagens & elastins
28
What are the proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix?
* proteo: dermatan sulfate & heparan sulfate * glyco: hyaluronan & syndecan
29
What are the adhesive glycoproteins and receptors that connect matrix elements to one another?
* laminin (type 4 collagen in BM) * fibronectin * integrins
30
What are the types of fibrillar collagens?
types 1, 2, 3, 5
31
What are the types of non-fibrillar collagens?
type 4 found in basement mebranes
32
What deals with 3 post-translational ER?
pro-peptide to pro-collagen
33
What are the steps of collagen synthesis?
1. signal peptide on N-terminal 2. prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase produce hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine (requires vitamin C) 3. propeptides twist into procollagen triple helix
34
What is the golgi apparatus modification?
last post-translational modification
35
What is the formation of tropcollagen?
membrane bound peptidases remove "loose ends" of procollagen
36
How is collagen fibril formed?
extracellular copper-dependent lysyloxidase acts on lysines & hydroxylysines that bond between tropcollagen
37
What types of collagen are known as interstitial collagenases?
types 1, 2, 3
38
What type of collagen is known as a gelatinase?
type 4
39
What are glycosaminoglycans bound to the cellular membrane by?
CD44
40
What are the 3 types of healing & repair?
* resolution * regeneration * repair by connective tissue
41
What is resolution?
* injury causing no tissue destruction (BM still intact) * ex: mosquito bite
42
What is regeneration?
* tissue destruction without significant disruption of BM * ex: mild sunburn
43
What is repair by connective tissue initiated by?
macrophages & TGF-beta
44
What is the sequence of repair by connective tissue?
1. angiogenesis 2. migration/proliferation of fibroblasts 3. deposition/remodeling of EM 4. remodeling of scar
45
During angiotensin, what is released?
MMPs & VEGF (secretes nitric oxide)
46
What is the function of Ang1 & Ang2?
stabilize vessels/recruitment of pericytes and smooth muscle cells

What is covered by a scab and is evidence of re-epithelization?
granulation tissue
50
What are the functions of FGF?
* stimulates proliferation of endo cells, fibro, ECM deposition * promoyes migration of macrophages and fibro to damaged area * stimulates epithelial cell migration to cover wounds
