Cartilage Flashcards
Flexible form of connective tissue
Cartilage
Mesenchymal progenitor cells that secrete matrix and fibers
Chondroblast
Collagen of cartilage
Type 2 collagen
Type of cartilage found mainly on the repiratory tract
Hyaline cartilage
It is replaced by bone tissues in adult life
Cartilage
Mature cartilage cells
Chondrocytes
Dense connective tissue that surround the hyaline cartilage
Perichondrium
Produce and maintain extracellular matrix and secrete metalloproteinase
Chondrocytes
It surround the isogenous group
Territorial matrix
Cause matrix to appear basophilic
Proteoglycan
Located immediately around the chondrocyte
Capsular matrix or pericellular
Groups of up to 8 cells that originate from mitotic divisions of single chondrocyte
Isogenous aggregates
It is the region that surround the territorial matrix and occupies the space between groups pf chondrocytes
Interterritorial matrix
Most common collagen of cartilage
Type 2
Non collagenous and non proteoglycan linked glycoprotein
Multiadhesive glycoprotein
