The extracellular
matrixECM
The area between
cells

The ECM of animal cells
• Animals cells lack the structure and support that a cell wall provides
• Have an ECM instead that provides some of the same support
![Page 3: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Components of the ECM
• Cells secrete glycoproteins – This is the main
component of the ECM
All 3 of these are common ECM glycoproteins
![Page 4: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Collagen is the most common glycoprotein in the ECM
![Page 5: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Proteoglycans (a glycoprotein) form a woven network outside cells
• Collagen are like strong fibers that run throughout this network
![Page 6: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Cells are attached to the ECM by another glycoprotein: fibronectin
• On one side, fibronectin is attached to proteins in the plasma membrane
• On the other side, the fibronectin is attached to the glycoproteins of the ECM

Quick Think
Explain the role of:
•Fibronectins
•Collagen fibers
•Proteoglycans
in the extracellular matrix

The ECM allows for cell to cell communication

Intercellular junctions
• Cells in plants and animals are organized into tissues, organs, and organ systems
• Cells in a tissue may adhere to each other
![Page 10: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Plasmodesmata of plants
• Cells walls of plants are perforated with small channels called plasmodesmata
• Cytosol passes through the channel, thereby connecting the two cells
![Page 11: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Water, solutes, even proteins and RNA can move between cells
• Allows plant cells to function as a unified system, rather than isolated cells

Intercellular Junctions in Animal Cells
• 3 main types of junctions between animal cells
• These junctions are most common in epithelial tissue (skin, linings of organs, etc)
![Page 14: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Tight junctions in animal cells
• The plasma membranes of neighboring cells are very tightly pressed together and bound by proteins
• Forms a seal or barrier around a group of cells
![Page 16: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Desmosomes or anchoring junctions in animal cells
• Like rivets that fasten cells together in strong sheets
• Keratin filaments anchor these attachments in the cytoplasm
![Page 17: AP Bio Ch. 7 part 2 The extracellular matrix](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052619/555039bcb4c9058f2f8b554f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Gap junctions (or communicating junctions) in animal cells
• Similar to plasmodesmata in plant cells
• Provides a channel between cells that cytosol can travel through
• Allows for cell to cell communication– Important in cardiac
tissue and embryonic tissue
