Sept. 24 • Quiz at the start of the lab period • Cartilage • General composition • Function • Types • Perichondrium • Formation Bone matrix
Cartilage • Chondrocytes • Lacunae • Extracellular matrix with GAGs and PGs, collagen, elastic fibers embedded in matrix • Flexible, resist compression • Shock absorber • Smooth surface for joint movement at articulating surfaces
Types of cartilage • Hyaline, type II collagen (slender fibers, resists pressure) articular end of bones, trachea • Elastic cartilage, type II collagen (pinna, epiglottis) • Fibrocartilage, course dense type I cartilage, strong tensile forces (intervertebral discs)
Perichondrium • Ct sheath surrounds most cartilage • Vascularized • Outer fibrous layer, inner cellular layer • Not next to synovial fluid
Hyaline cartilage • Most common, blueish • Nose, larynx, bronchi, ends of ribs, joints
Hyaline Cartilage: Histogenesis and growth of hyaline cartilage Mesenchymal cells retract processes -round up in chondrification centers Cells diffentiate into chondroblasts Start to secrete matrix -become trapped in lacunae
Chondrocytes: • chondroblasts surrounded by matrix • Can still divide • Cluster in a lacuna called isogenous group • Cells then pushed away by forming matrix, called interstitial growth • Perichondrium formed by • -mesenchymal tissue at the periphery of hyaline cartilage forms • Fibroblasts and dense irregular connective tissue • Outer fibrous layer protects • Inner cellular layer has chondrogenic cells. • Growth by appositional growth
Cartilage Cells: -chondrogenic cells, spindle shaped, babies (progenitors) -chondroblasts, from mesenchyme or chondrogenic of Inner cellular layer -plump basiphilic -chondrocytes, are chondroblasts surrounded by matrix, ovoid to round, Our sections create distortion
Matrix of Hyaline Cartilage: • Type II Collagen, proteoglycans, glycoproteins, extracellular fluid • -semi-translucent blue gray color • -lots of collagen, same refractive index as the ground substance • Large PG molecules, aggrecans. • -protein cores, GAG molecules eg. Chondroitin 4 sulfate • -aggrecans link to hyaluronic acid • -these have negative charges, electrostatic interaction to sodium • The sodium attracts water molecules
Condronectin • an adhesive glycoprotein • -similar to fibronectin, binds type II collagen, C4-sulfate, • Hyaluronic acid, integrins (transmb proteins) of chondrobasts • And chondrocytes. • Assists chondrocytes in maintaining contact with fibrous and • Ground substance in the matrix
Elastic Cartilage: Similar to hyaline but has lots of elastic fibers in Matrix and perichondrium. -pinna, auditory tubes, epiglottis, larynx -usually have some hyaline around -perichondrial outer layer has lots of elastic fibers -matrix has lots of elastic fibers and type II collagen -very large chondrocytes -matrix not as ample as in hyaline cartilage -usually seen with orcein stain
Fibrocartilage: -no perichondrium, type I collagen (acidophilic) -intervertebral discs, articular discs, attached to bone -parallel arrangement of chondrocytes Thick coarse collagen molecules parallel to tensile forces -chondrocytes derive from fibroblasts that form proteoglycans -intervertebral discsinterspersed with hyaline cartilage that covers the surface of the vertebra
Bone Matrix: inorganic constituents Inorganic component: hydroxyapatite crystals (calcium and phosphate also amorphous) Water Associates with organic component: -type 1 collagen (highly cross-linked and hard to extract) makes bone acidophilic The hydroxyapatite + collagen give hardness and strength If decalcified, becomes soft If organic component is removed, remains hard but brittle.
Bone, Amorphous ground substance -stains with PAS, explain glycosaminoglyacans staining with PAS -contains sulfated GAGs Keratin sulfate chondroitin sulfate chondroitin sulfate & keratin sulfate cross links with proteoglycans -> link proteins -> hyaluronic acid. These are called aggrecans composites
Glycoproteins of the Bone Matrix Vitamin D is required for the synthesis of these glycoproteins. Osteocalcin binds hydroxyapatite Osteopontin binds hydroxyapatitie and integrins on osteoblasts & osteoclasts Sialoprotein binds matrix components and osteoblast and osteocyte integrins, therefore has and adhering function
