39
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

What are the two growth mechanisms in cartilage

A

Intersitial growth

Appostional growth

40
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Describe the matrix of the cartilage

A

Firm gel containing polysaccharide derivatives called chondroitin sulfates

41
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

What cells are present in cartilage?

A

Chondrocytes

42
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Where would you find the chondrocyte cells in cartilage?

A

In small chambers called lacunae

43
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Interstitial growth

A

Cell division

Enlarges the cartilage from within

44
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Appositional growth

A

Cells of the inner layer of the perichondrium undergo repeated cycles of division

New layers of cartilage are added to the surface

45
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Three major types of cartilage

A

Hyaline

Elastic

Fibrocartilage

46
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

What are the issues with cartilage

No nerve supply

Difficult to repair

47
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Difference between young and adult long bone structure

A

Growth plate present in children and adolescents

Replaced by an apihyseal line in adults

48
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Epiphysial plate

A

Growth plate

Hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone

49
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Ossification

A

Calcium salts are deposited

50
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Endochrondral

A

Bone replaces existing cartilage

51
Q

Skeletomuscular system - Bones

Intramembranous ossification

A

Bone develops directly from mesenchyme or fibrous connective tissue

Normally occurs in the deeper layers of the dermis

Also an essential process during the natural healing of bone fracures
