Anatomy 131 Lecture 2 Flashcards
What are the2 Skeletal Tissue / Connective Tissue
Cartilage Tissue and Bone Tissue
What is the primary cell type of cartilage tissue?
chondrocyte that comes from chondroblast
What fibers are found in cartilage tissue?
collagen and some elastin fibers
what substance are in cartilage tissue
mainly water and organic extracellular substance depending on the type of cartilage it is.
What is the function of cartilage tissue?
What are other traits?
The function of cartilage tissue is to support, protect and cushion
-Avascular and limited regenerative, surrounded by perichondrium (CT), that assists with growth of the cartilage and resist outward expansion when there’s pressure
What is the primary cell for bone?
The primary cell is osteocyte that comes from osteoblast
What is in bone tissue?
Inorganic salts (Calcium phosphatte)
What fibers are bone made of?
Collagen fiber
What is the function of bone?
The same as cartilage, but it also stores mineral and forms blood cells also known as hematopoiesis.
What other traits does bone have?
highly vascular and very regenerative.
What are the three types of cartilage?
Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
What is the function of hyaline cartilage?
SRR
support
resilient flexible cushion
resist repetitive stress
Where is hyaline cartilage located?
articular surface of bone,
sternal end of ribs (costal cartilage)
nasal septum
larynx & trachea
fetal skeleton
What is the function of fibrocartilage?
RR
resist compressive force
resist strong tensile forces
What is the structure of hyaline cartilage?
Rich in collagen fibers
Chondroblasts produce the matrix, when mature lie in lacunae and are called chondrocytes
Where is fibrocartilage located?
outer covering of intervertebral discs,
connecting symphyses,
articular disc (menisci of the knee)
some ligaments and tendon
What are the structure of hyaline cartilage?
less firm then hyalin,
contains thick collagen fibers
chondrocytes are parallel with collagen bundle
What is the function elastic cartilage?
The function of is to maintain the shape of the structure
Tolerate repetitive bending
Where is the elastic cartilage located?
pinna ear
auditory tubes
epiglottis
larynx
What is the structure of elastic cartilage?
elastin fibers and collagen fibers
