6.1 - 6.2 Cartilage & Bones Flashcards
Where can you find cartilage in the body? (8)
-external ear
-nose
-articular cartilages
-coastal cartilages
-larynx
-trachea
-intervertebral discs
-pubic symphisis
What kind of cartilage is in the ear
Elastic cartilage
What kind of cartilage is in the nose
Hyaline cartilage
What kind of cartilage is in the articular cartilages
Hyaline cartilages
You can find articular cartilages at __________
The end of most bones at movable joints
green arrows
You can find coastal cartilages at ______
The ribs (it connects the ribs to the sternum)
blue arrow
Coastal cartilage is made out of ______ cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
cartilages in the larynx include the
epiglottis
epiglottis is the green
cartilages in the larynx are made out of
elastic cartilages
what does the epiglottis do
its a falp that opens/closes to keep food from entereing the larynx & lungs
what do cartialges in the trachea do
hold open air tubes of the respiratory system
where can you find cartilage in the intervertebral discs
between the vertebrae
red dot - lines between spine
where can you find cartilage in the pubic symphysis
bottom middle area
purple dot
cartilage is more abundant in ______ than an adult
embryo
what is endochondral ossification
the process in which the fast-growing hyaline cartilage is replaced by bone tissue
cartilage contains NO ______and NO _____
no nerves and no blood vessels
cartilage is a _________________ tissue
connective
cartialge is surrounded
by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue = perichondrium
perichondrium functions (4)
1) acts like a girdle
2) resists outward expansion under pressure
3) helps in growth & repair of the cartialge
4) contains blood vessels
how is cauliflower ear (subperichondrial hematoma) caused
damage to the ear that seperates cartilage & perichondrium
cartilage tissue descriptions (3)
-consists of primarily water (60-80%)
- very resilient
- 3 types of cartilage
cartilage similarities (4)
1) chondrocyte cell
2) chondrocytes are IN lacunae
3) matrix is produces by chondroblasts
4) matrix has fibers & ground substance
identify
hyaline cartilage
identify
elastic cartilage
identify
fibrocartilage
bones are organs because they contain several different tissues - what types? (5)
-bone connective tissue MOST
-nevous tissue in nerves
-blood connective tissue in blood vessels
-cartilage connective tissue
-epithelial tissue in lining blood vessels
bone functions (6)
- support
- movement
- protection
- mineral storage
- blood cell formation & energy storage
- energy metabolism
explain how bone assist in: support
provides hard framework to support weight of body
explain how bone assist in: movement
skeletal muscles use bones as leves to move the body & parts
explain how bone assist in: protection
protects underlying organs :
-skull protects the brain
-vertebrae surrounds spinal cord
-rib cage protects organs of the thorax
explain how bone assist in: mineral storage (2)
reservoir of minerals like calcium and phosphorus
& releases into the blood stream
explain how bone assist in: blood cell formation & energy storage
bone contains red (makes blood cells) & yellow bone marrow (site of fat storage)
