5.4 lab - cartilage, bone, synovial joint Flashcards
a high proportion of what material composes the lamina propria?
elastic fibers
a high proportion of what material composes the submucosa?
collagen
what materials compose the lamina propria and submucosa respectively?
lamina propria - elastic fibers
submucosa - collagen fibers
“hylaine” is a generic adjective that means __
glassy
cartilage is made of type __ cartilage
type II
2 matrix regions in hyalin cartilage
- territorial matrix - slighly more basophilic immediately surrounding isogenous group
- interterritorial matrix - lighter staining areas between territorial matrices
territorial matrix
slighly more basophilic area in hyaline cartilage immediately surrounding an isogenous group of chondrocytes
interterritorial matrix
lighter staining areas of hyalin cartilage between the territorial matrices that immediately surround isogenous groups of chondrocytes
slighly more basophilic area in hyaline cartilage immediately surrounding an isogenous group of chondrocytes
territorial matrix
lighter staining areas of hyalin cartilage between the territorial matrices that immediately surround isogenous groups of chondrocytes
interterritorial matrix
predominant resident cell of hyalin cartilage
chondrocyte
which portion of hyaline cartilage is relatively older and which is younger?
inner = older outer = younger
why do isogenous groups form in cartilage?
because, unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not allow cell movement, so when a parent cell divides into daughter cells they are kept close to each other
where are isogenous groups more prominent, in the inner or outer portions of cartilage?
inner, older poriton of cartilage
the space in which a chondrocyte sits
lacuna
lacuna
the space in which a chondrocyte or osteocyte sits
filled by cell in vivo, but cell shrinks in slide preparation so looks like an empty space with smaller cell inside
is the outer fibrous layer of perichondrium or periosteum dense irregular or dense regular connective tissue?
in between
fibers randomly oriented in 2D, not 3D, so appear more like dense regular connective tissue or smooth muscle (but proper term is outer fibrous perichondrium layer)
what cells exist in the inner cellular layers of perichondrium and periosteum?
chondroblasts
osteoblasts
3 examples of fetal cartilage
nasal septum
meckel’s cartilage
epiphyseal cartilage (closest to joint cavity)
U-shaped piece of fetal cartilage that has evolutionary significance as a structural element of the jaw. disappears in the adult
meckel’s cartilage
how to tell fetal hyaline cartilage from adult hyaline cartilage
cartilage matrix will be less mature and isogenous groups will not be mature in fetal cartilage
the bridge of the nose is what kind of cartilage?
hyaline cartilage
the ear is what kind of cartilage?
elastic cartilage
elastic cartilage
hyaline cartilage with elastin fibers added to the matrix
stain for elastin
vaerhoeff’s stain
vaerhoeff’s stain
stains elastin (black)
are elastic fibers more concentrated in territorial matrix or interterritorial matrix of elastic cartilage?
territorial matrix (right around isogenous groups)
is there elastin in the perichondrial layer of elastic cartilage?
yes
fibrocartilage
a transitional tissue between connective tissue and hyaline cartilage - type I collagen invading hyaline cartilage matrix
-e.g. pubic symphysis, intervertebral disk, where perichondrium separates from from cartilage in joint cavity
where is fibrocartilage generally found?
where hyaline cartilage attaches to fibrous connective tissue
T/F elastic cartilage is found in the pubic symphisis
false
elastic cartilage in ear
fibrocartilage in pubic symphysis
T/F fibrocartilage is found in the ear and bridge of the nose
false
ear = elastic cartilage
nose bridge = hyaline cartilage
pubic symphysis = fibrocartilage
what does fibrocartilage look like on LM?
like dense connective tissue merging with cartilage and invading it to a degree
name 3 types of cartilage and examples of their locations
hyaline cartilage - joints, trachea, nose bridge
elastic cartilage - ear
firbocartilage - pubic symphysis, intervertebral disk, where perichondrium separates from from cartilage in joint cavity
T/F fibrocartilage is a transitional tissue
true
transition between connective tissue and hyaline cartilage
T/F compact and spongy bone exist on a continuum
true
cortical bone
compact bone surrounding spongy bone
