Bone Histology Flashcards
what is the matrix of cartilage composed of?
type II collagen
name the two matrices of collagen
territorial
interterritorial
describe territorial cartilage matrix
adjacent to chondrocytes…poor in collagen
where is interterritorial collagen matrix located?
further from chondrocytes and has more collagen
which of interterritorial and territorial matrices stains dark?
territorial
what are chondrocytes embedded in?
lacunae within the matrix
where are most chondroblasts located?
in the perichondrium
what is the perichondrium? what is it made of?
layer of dense irregular connective tissue surrounding hyaline and elastic cartilage
what type of cartilage doesnt have perichondrium?
fibrocartilage
what are the two types of cartilage growth?
interstitial and appositional
what is interstitial cartilage growth?
existig chondrocytes make more chondrocytes
where is a common place for interstitial cartilage growth to occur?
epiphyseal plates of bone
what is appositional growth of cartilage?
chndrogenic cells become chondroblast then chondroblasts become chondrocytes
where does appositional growth of cartilage occur?
in perichondrium
hyaline cartilage has what type of collagen?
type II
elastin cartilage has what type of collagen?
type II
fibrocartilage has what type of collagen?
type I
which two types of cartilage have perichondrium?
hyaline and elastin
name three common places for elastin cartilae
ear, epiglottis, laryngeal cartilages
where is hyaline cartilage found?
articular ends of bones, respiratory system
where is fibrocartilage found?
IV discs, insertion of tendons, meniscus
name the two matrices of bone
inorganic
organic
the inorganic matrix of bone mainly has what in it?
calcified tissue
the organic matrix of bone has what in it?
type I collagen
what cell differentiates into osteoblasts?
osteoprogenitor cells
what shape are osteoblast when active? what about inactive?
cuboidal when active and flat when inactive
