Q

What is cartilage?

A
  • Avascular form of CT
  • Consists of extracellular fibres embedded in a matrix that contains cells localised in small cavities
  • Amount and kind of extracellular fibres in the matrix varies depending on type of cartilage
  • Nourished by diffusion
  • No BV/ lymphatics or nerves

Q

What are the functions of cartilage?

A
  1. Support soft tissues
  2. Provide a smooth, gliding surface for bone articulation at joints
  3. Enable the development and growth of long bones
17
Q

What are the functions of bone?

A
  1. Supportive structures for the body
  2. Protectors of vital organs
  3. Reservoirs of calcium and phosphorus
  4. Levers on which muscles act to prod movement
  5. Containers for blood producing cells
18
Q

What are the different types of bone?

A
  1. Compact (trabecular)

2. Spongy (cancellous)

19
Q

What are the different classifications of bone?

A
  1. Long bones
  2. Short bones
  3. Flat bones
  4. Irregular bones
  5. Sesamoid bones
20
Q

What are the characteristics of compact bone?

A
  • Dense
21
Q

What are the characteristics of spongy bone?

A
  • Spicules of bone enclosing cavities containing blood forming cells (marrow)
22
Q

Example of long bone?

A
  • Humerus in upper limb

- Femur in lower limb

23
Q

Example of short bone?

A

Bones of wrist and ankle

24
Q

Example of irregular bone?

A

Bones of face

25
Q

Example of flat bone?

A

Skull

26
Q

What is the typical shape of long bones?

A

Tubular

27
Q

What is the typical shape of short bones?

A

Cuboidal

28
Q

What is the typical shape of irregular bones?

A

Bones with various shapes

29
Q

What is the typical shape of flat bones?

A

Consist of two compact

bone plates separated by spongy bone

30
Q

What is the typical shape of sesamoid bones?

A

Round or oval bones that develop in tendons

31
Q

What are the different types of osteogenesis (bone development)?

A
  1. Intramembranous ossification

2. Endochondral ossification

32
Q

What is intramembranous ossification?

A
  • Process of bone development from fibrous membranes
  • Osteoblasts differentiate directly from mesenchyme and begin secreting osteoid
  • Begins as mesenchymal cells form a template of the future bone
33
Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A
  • Process of bone development from hyaline cartilage

- Pre-existing matrix of hyaline cartilage is eroded and invaded by osteoblasts, which then begin osteoid production

34
Q

Which bone undergoes intramembranous ossification?

A

Formation of flat bones in skull, the mandible and clavicles

35
Q

Which bone undergoes endochondral ossification?

A

All bones of body except bones involved in intramembranous ossification
