Term
Basal Lamina
Definition

Synthesized by epithelial cells

Entactin binds the two networks together

Lamina Lucida (laminin) & Lamina Densa (type IV collagen)

Term
Basement Membrane
Definition

lamina lucida (Laminin)

lamina densa (type IV Collagen) Ectactin binds these two top layers

and Lamina Reticularis (type III Collagen) - synthesized by cells in underlying connective tissue

Term
Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa
Definition
rfesults from mutation of laminins or integrins, the epidermis slaughs off the underlying dermis resulting in open wounds and is usually prenatal lethal
Term
Glomerular basement membrane in Kidney
Definition
filtration barrier (specialized) the basal lamina is produced by enothelial cells and epithelial cells on either side. NO LAMINA RETICULARIS.
Term
Diabetes
Definition
results in a thickening of the basement membrane, caused by glycosylated endproducts. this is specially evident in the kidney, leading to diabeic nephropathy. Also observed in tubular basement membranes.
Term
Diabetes Hyperglycemia
Definition
High glucose + amino acid (from degradation or metabolism--> ROS + circulating proteins or basement proteins in CT--> Advanced glycated End-products (AGE)--> bind to RAGE->decreased cell potential, lower conduction speeds, generation of ROS--> apoptosis
AGE--> endothelial leakage, thicker BM, generation of immunogenicity
Term
Matrix fibers
Definition
in Connective Tissue - collagen, elastin, fibronectin
Term
Collagen Fibers in matrix
Definition
most abundant protein in animals, made by fibroblasts and some epithelial cells
provides structural support
linear - (dense regular)tendon or ligament
random - loose connective tissue
Term
Fibronectin fibers
Definition
collagen binding domain and cell binding domain for integrin - can span the basement membrane.
Binds to integrin, heparin, collagen, and fibrin
Term
Elastic Fibers
Definition
Fibers made of the protein elastin, which branch and allow for recoil permits flexibility in tissue and passive recoiling, in arteries, lungs and other tissue requiring expansion and contraction.
Term
4 types of collagen
Definition
Type I - fibers; skin, bone, ubiquitous
Type II - networks of fibrils; hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilages
Type III - fibers - reticular fibers
Type IV- networks - only found in the lamina densa
Term
Collagen
Definition
secreted in chains called procollagen (rich in Gly residues along with proline) made by fibroblasts, the procollagen chain assemble into an linear molecule and cleaved into (insoluble)tropocollagen-->aggregae to form collagen fibrils
Term
Collagen
Definition
secreted in chains called procollagen (rich in Gly residues along with proline) made by fibroblasts, the procollagen chain assemble into an linear molecule and cleaved into (insoluble)tropocollagen-->aggregae to form collagen fibrils
Term
OSteogenesis Imperfecta
Definition
affects Collagen I/III - brittle bone disease (blue sclera-discoloration of the eyes)
Term
Alports syndrom
Definition
affects Collagen IV- the basemem membrane deteriorates, allowing proteins and RBCs to enter urine
glomerulonephritis, hearing loss, and end stage kidney disease
Term
Goodpasture syndrome
Definition
anti-glomerular basement antibody disease antibody disease, antibdoes attack the lungs and the kidneys. Directed toward alpha 3 NC1 doamin of type IV collagen
Term
Reticular fibers
Definition
found in spleen, liver, lamina reticularis of the basement membrane
Form a supporting framework for many organs
Term
Aging and Elastin
Definition
fibrillins cross-link elastin, during aging, fibrillin is degraded and becomes inflexible.
Term
Marfan Syndrom
Definition
pathology of collagen and elastic fiber --> absence of fibrillin --> loss of elastic fibers in the body that can lead to mitral valve prolase (valve can't close normally) and aortic dissection--> inside wall separates from the muscle blood flows through this space
Term
Ground Substance
Definition
Proteoglycans - glycosylated proteins = core protein + glycosaminoglycas (GAG) side chains.
Proteoglycan bind to laminin network
Term
GAG
Definition
glycosaminoglycans
hyaluronic acid: non-sulfated GAG found in cartilage, skin, wound repair
Chondroitin sulfate: jellylike ground substance of cartilage, bone and blood vessels
Keratin sulfate: GAG found in cartilage, cornea and bone "shock absorber:
Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
Loose Connective tissue -supports epithelial lining of GI, GU, and respiratory tracts. type I collagen fibers and ground substance (wavy)
Dense Connective tisse
Term
Dense Connective Tissue
Definition
Regular- tendons and ligaments primarily of type I collagen, composed of collagen fibers and fibroblasts
Irregular- Type I collagen with fibroblasts (all over the place)
Term
Specialized Connective Tissue
Definition
Cartilage- jelly like matrix (chondroitin sulface) containing collagen and elastic fibers surrounded by a membrane (perichondrium - some blood vessels)
Bone
Term
Cartilage (has no blood vessels unlike CT)
Definition
Hyaline - type II collagen in gel-type matrix, septum of nose, trachea, articular cartilage, surrounded by dense, irregular, vascular connective tissue - perichondrium (joints)
Elastic - surrounded by perichondrium, matrix contains elasic fibers, and chondroitin sulfate - foun in pinna of ear, auditory tube, and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage - contains fewer chondrocytes, usually in rows: no perichondrium - found in intervertebral discs, and ligament-bone attachment of the knee
Term
Bone
Definition
matrix becomes calcified due to deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals
contains canalicular system 0 taht connects to lacuane
IT IS VASCULAR and contains nerves
Term
Cartilage
Definition
the strength of cartilage is due to collagen fibers and the resilience is due to the presence of chondroitin sulfate (chondrocytes in lacuane)
Term
Cancellous Bone vs Compact bone
Definition
Cancellous bone -where we find bond marrow, web-like structure
compact bone - dense and no web
Term
Bone
Definition
Term
Connective Tissue Cells
Definition
Fibroblasts - secrete both fibers and ground substance of the ECM: derivatives- chondrocytes, osteoblasts, odontoblasts (teeth)
Term
Mesenchymal cell
Definition
can become: chondrocyte (cartilage cell), bone cell (osteoblast/osteocyte), fibroblast, adipocyte, smooth muscle ccells
Term
type I collagen
Definition
present in bone, tendon, denti, and skkin
Term
type II collagen
Definition
is present in hyaline and elastic cartilage and syntehsized by chondroblasts
Term
type III collage
Definition
is present in bone marrow and lymphoid organs. Synthesized by fibroblasts called reticular cells
Term
type IV collagen
Definition
is synthesized by epithelial cells( only on lamina densa)
Term
MAST cells
Definition
antigen binds two adjacent IgE receptor mol. (crosslinks)--> induces a signaling cascade resulting in the mobilization of cytosolic Ca2+--? triggers the release of granules storing histamines, proteases, and proteoglycans are released. Cytokines are also synthesized and released
Term
Eosinophil contents
Definition
Eosinophil peroxidase - mings to microorganisms (opsonization)
Major basic protein (MBP) - binds and disrupts the parasite membrane
Eosinophil cationic protein - together with MBP causes fragmentation of parasites
Term
Movement of WBCs into the epithelium
(diapedesis)
Definition
selectin binds carbs
integrin binds ICAM-1 (epithlium)
matrix metalloproteases break anchoring (degrade and exit) from the blood vessel
Term
Delayed wound healing in Diabetes
Definition
the presence of AFE in the CT, competes with EN-RAGE for binding to RAGE. the CT becomes like glue, preventing the macrophages and fibroblasts from getting to the wound. wound doesn't heal
