4. What is the function of osteocalcin? C. Plays a part in bone resorption by recruiting osteoclasts.
A. Forms compression-resistant networks between
collagen fibrils. Osteocalcin is a calcium-binding protein that preferentially binds to calcium that has
already crystallized.
B. Controls collagen interactions that lead to fibril
formation. Osteocalcin plays a role in inhibiting calcium phosphate precipitation and in bone
resorption by recruiting osteoclasts.
C. Plays a part in bone resorption by recruiting osteoclasts.
Proteoglycans are responsible for forming compression-resistant networks between
D. Transports essential elements such as hormones. the collagen fibrils.
Glycoproteins control the collagen interactions that lead to fibril formation.
Bone albumin is identical to serum albumin.
5. Which type of collagen is the glue that finally holds B. IX
together the scaffolding of articular cartilage?
A. II Type IX collagen is thought to be the glue.
B. IX Type II is the principal component of cartilage.
C. XI Type XI regulates the fibril diameter of type II cartilage.
D. VI Type VI is one of the cartilage-specific collagens.
