Question
Chapter 4.3, Problem 12CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason why the survival needs are not met in the aging cartilage.
Introduction:
One of the types of connective tissues is cartilage. The cartilage is able to stand up to compression and tension. The qualities of the cartilage are in between bone and dense connective tissue. It is flexible, tough, and provides the support to the structure.

The extra cellular matrix (ECM) of bone is considered to be a composite material made up of organic and inorganic matter. What makes up the organic and inorganic portions of the matrix? How does the cell you described in question #8 break down this matrix?
A major tenet of the cell theory is that all bodily structure and function result from the function of cells. Yet the structural properties of bone are due more to its extracellular material than to its cells. Is this an exception to the cell theory? Why or why not?
The Deeper Insights in this chapter describe some hereditary defects in collagen and elastin. Predict some pathological consequences that might result from a hereditary defect in keratin?

- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY The aging process isthought to be initiated at the cellular level. Among the changesthat can occur after a certain number of cell divisions is theloss of a cell’s ability to respond to growth factors and other signals. Much research into aging is aimed at understanding suchlosses, with the ultimate goal of extending the human life span.Not everyone, however, agrees that this is a desirable goal. If lifeexpectancy were greatly increased, discuss what might be thesocial and ecological consequences.arrow_forwardTissue engineering combines living cells with synthetic materials to create functional substitutes for human tissues.
