Q

Characteristic of Cartilage

A

Q

What is a Dermal Bone?

A

Bones of the skull is an example
Forms directly from mesenchyme (called osteoblast)
Thin plates of collagen matrix; salts is deposited
As the bone grows, the plate expand outer margin and thickens by adding new layers on inner & outer surface

Q

What is the replacement bone?

A

Bone that replaces cartilage
Osteoblasts (Mesenchyme) enter along the blood vessels.
This is typical of long bones in vertebrates
Bone can also be added to the margins & outer surface end of bone cartilage & notochord.

Q

What is Viscous drag?

A

A boundary layer is created as layers of water (lamina) moves pass each other
Creates a shearing force where the faster the fish is moving, the thicker the boundary layers will be
Eddies created in boundary layer, and when the amount of eddies increase, it increases the amount of drag
