Q

What happens if p53 is unable to be produced?

A

Without p53 checkpoint in G1 disappears

77
What are the chambers the cells live in?
Lacunae
78
What is the anti angiogenesis factor in cartilage?
Chemical secreted by chondrocytes that prevent blood vessels from developing Lack of blood vessels means hard recovery when damaging a cartilage A cancer treatment

80
What is fibro cartilage?
Reinforced with extra collagen fiber Fibers go in same direction Layer look Resists compression Ex: pubis symphysis
81
What is elastic cartilage?
Numerous elastic fibers Very flexible but returns to original size and place Seen in Pinna (ear and nose)
82
What is calcified cartilage?
Only found in human body when cartilage dies and transforms into bone Lots of calcium salt (cement like material) deposited in matrix Shuts down diffusion and cells die
83
Bone has a matrix of cement made of material mostly in calcium phosphate interlaced with collagen. What is this material called?
Hydroxyapatite
84
What are osteocytes and what are the chambers they live in called?
Bone cells Lacunae
85

What is a Haversian canal or central canal?
Any of the minute tubes that form a network in bone and contain blood vessels
