16
Q

type A macrophage-like synovial cells

A

phagocytic

contain lysosomes to clear articular cavity of debris

17
Q

what type

A

fibrocartilage (tendon)

18
Q

which layer of articular cartilage?

A

calcified cartilage

19
Q

except for ___________, hyaline cartilage is surrounded and nourished by perichondrium

A

articular surfaces

20
Q

type B fibroblast-like synovial cells

A

produce synovial fluid

hyaluronic acid to increase viscosity

lubricin

lubricates cartilage to reduce friction

21
Q

articular cartilage

A

type of hyaline cartilage that does not have perichondrium

reduces friction between bones

no nerves or BV

22
Q
A

hyaline

23
Q

cartilage characteristics

A

composed of cells and ECM cells are chondroblasts or chondrocytes avascular no nerve supply no lymphatics

24
Q

hyaline and where found

A

has perichondrium type II C found in embryo, articular cartilage of resp tract, costal cartilage

25
Q

inner chondrogenic layer

A

gives rise to chondroblasts and osteoprogenitor cells

blasts secrete type II collagen

26
Q

elastic and where found

A

has perichondrium type II C and EF found in external ear, epiglottis, auditory tube

27
Q

synovial membrane

A

surrounds entire joint cavity except articular cartilage

regenerates if damaged

28
Q

what type/label arrows

A

hyaline

starting upper left and going clockwise: outer fibrous layer, inner chondrogenic layer, territorial matrix, interterritorial matrix, chondrocytes

29
Q

cartilage is usually replaced by______

A

dense CT or bone (if vascularized)

30
Q

territorial matrix

A

surrounds isogenous cell group, high amt of GAGs and lower amt of collagen

31
Q

chondrocytes

A

round cells with small dark nuclei

arranged in lacunae

often in groups of 2-8 cells (isogenous groups)

32
Q

what type/what is arrow pointing to?

A

hyaline, perichondrium

33
Q

diarthroses joints permit ______ and are found______

A

free movment

synovial joints

34
Q

interterritorial matrix

A

surrounds territorial matrix, more collagen II and fewer GAGs

35
Q

what type

A

elastic

36
Q

Which layer of articular cartilage?

A

tangential (chondrocytes flattened parallel to surface, cartilage parallel to surface)

37
Q

what type

A

Elastic

38
Q

synarthroses joints permit _____ and found in ______

A

little to no movement

cranial bones, ribs, sternum

39
Q

what type

A

fibrocartilage
