Q

Characteristics of cartilage

A
  • Has periosteum that surrounds on all sides of the cartilage
  • Made of chondrocytes that are within lacunae
  • Ground substance has proteoglycan and hyaluronic acid which absorbs stare so when you touch it, it comes back like a spring
  • Avascular and no nerve supply

Q

Cartilage development

A
  • Mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondroblasts
  • Chondroblasts mitotically divide and form isogenic groups
  • Chondroblasts secrete the ECM
  • ECM captures the chondroblasts and divides them into separate cells called chondrocytes

Q

Hyaline cartilage

A
  • Contains collagen type II fibrils and ground substance
  • Has perichondrium all around it
  • Fresh hyaline cartilage is whitish-bluish
  • In the embryo:forms the temporary skeleton
  • Chondrocytes that are active show basophilia along the lacunae
  • Inactive chondrocytes have white spaces which is for glycogen storage and fat droplets
  • Matrix calcifies
  • Supports structures and is flexible
  • Found in articulations cartilage, nasal septum, epiphyseal plate, respiratory passages

Q

Fibrocartilage

A
  • Mostly has collagen type I fibrils but also has collagen type II fibrils
  • Chondrocytes are arranged by themselves or in isogenous groups in rows
  • In between the rows, there are collagen type I fibers
  • No perichondrium
  • Matric calcifies
  • Is acidophilic due to collagen type I
  • Function is support and rigidity
  • Ex: meniscus, intervertebral disc, pubic symphysis

Q

Spongy Bone

A

Does not have osteons. Instead lamellae are arranged in a sheet with spaces in them called trabiculae (help make the bone lighter)

Hematopoeisis occurs in spongy tissue. Each trabiculae has lamina consisting of osteocytes

Q

Intramembranous ossification

A

Mesenchymal tissue is replaced by ossified tissue. Osteoblasts begin to appear and form spongy bone. Spongy bone is remodeled to form compact bone

Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Cartilage provides the framework of the bone. Osteoclasts will begin to digest the cartilage in the diaphysis and osteoblasts will lay down new bone. Blood vessels will begin to emerge and the medullary cavity will hollow out. Blood vessels and osteoblasts will then go to the epiphysis

Cartilage will remain only at the articular surface and epiphyseal plate

Q

Growth of bone

A

Osteoclasts will eat up a portion of the epiphyseal plate and then osteoblasts will put in new bone

When a person becomes an adult, epiphyseal plate will become epiphyseal line

Q

Repair of bone

A
  • Form fracture hemmatoma: clots blood
  • Fibrocartilage callus formation: fibroblasts invade the site and form collagen fibers to bring the broken pieces of bone together
  • Bony callus formation: osteoblasts will form bone
  • Bone remodeling: spongy bone is converted to compact bone
