Amorphois Ground substance, Tissue fluid and fibers
Ehlers Danos Syndrome
heritable, affects collagen structure and function
Marfan syndrome
hereditary defect of elastin and fibrillin
What is a GAG? name the four groups
Glycosaminoglycans are long unbranched polysaccaride chains with repeating disacaride units. Hyluronic acid, chonroitin sulfate, heparin sulfate, and keatin sulfate
What is a proteoglycan
contain more sugar than protien
What is a glycoprotein
lots of protien with little sugar, organizes elastin into fibers, and if absent causes elastin to form sheets
Fibronectin
involved in wound healing and clotting, plasma form is disolved in blood. Mediates cell adhesion and uses integrins. also binds collagen and heparin
Laminin
component of basement membranes, uses integrins, and binds to type IV collagen and entactin
chondronectin
attaches chondrocytes to type II collagen. Functions in development and maintainence of cartilage
Osteonectin
Found in bone, links minerals to type 1 collagen
Type 1 cartilage
Bone, Dense and loose connective tissue, tendons and fasia
Type II cartilage
Hyaline and elastic caritlage
Type III cartilage
Liver lymph nodes, connective tissue, vessels
Type IV and VII
Basement membranes, signal where one tissue ends and another begins
Where is loose connective tissue found
Adentitia o blood vessels, propria of GI
Adipose tissue location
subcuanteous layer, covers some organs
Elastic fiber location
Elastic cartilage, major arteries, some lung, some dermis, and elastic ligaments
Dense Irregular
no partiular orientation, most abundant
dense regular location
tendons and ligaments
two types of elastic fibers
elastin and fibrillin
location of reticular fibers and associated collagen type
