4 Cartilage and Bone Tissue Flashcards
Connective Tissue
Bone, Blood, Cartilage, Connective Tissue Proper; loose and dense.
Hyaline
most abundant, flexibility and resilience; trachea, articular cartilage,
Fibrocartilage
thick collagen fibers, shock absorber; intervertebral discs, menisci of knee, pubic symphysis
Elastic
highly branched elastic fibers, flexibility; Epiglottis, auricle of the ear
Chondroblasts
Produce matrix of cartilage
Chondrocytes
Mature cartilage, resides in lacuna
Perichondrium
made of dense connective tissue, provides mechanical support and protection
Bone
Osseous connective tissue
Calcified extracellular matrix
Calcium phosphate
Hemopoiesis
Red bone marrow
Bone stores minerals and energy in…
calcium phosphate, yellow bone marrow
Epiphysis
ends of long bones
diaphysis
shaft of long bone
metaphysis
contains the epiphyseal plate or line
articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage covering the ends of bones within joints
Medullary cavity
contains yellow marrow in adults and red marrow in children
Endosteum
layer of cells lining the spongy bone and medullary cavity
periosteum
dense CT outer covering of bone
perforating fibers
attach the periosteum to compact bone
Nutrient foramen
contains nutrient artery
Osteoprogenitor cells
stem cells derived from mesenchyme that become osteoblasts
Osteoblasts
Immature osteocytes that build bone by secreting osteoid, decreases blood calcium levels
Osteocytes
mature bone sells that maintain bone matrix, Reside in lacunae
Osteoclasts
Cells that consume bone, Phagocytic cells using hydrochloric acid and lysosomes, increase blood calcium levels.
