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
Parts of the body with hyaline cartilage
Nose, arytenoid cartilage, cuneiform cartilage, between joint
Toughest type of cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Do not calcify during aging
Elastic cartilage
No perichondrium
Fibrous cartilage
Deposition of new cartilage on the surface of existing cartilage
Appositional growth
It is a combination of dense connective tissue and hyaline cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Formation of new cartilage within existing cartilage
Interstitial growth
Covers the surface of ends of bones
Articular cartilage
Types pf cartilage development
Interstitial growth and appositional growth
