Cartilage and Bone Flashcards
What are the three types of cartilage
Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage
What type of fiber is in hyaline cartilage
type 2 collagen
What type of fiber is in elastic cartilage
type 2 collagen plus elastic fibers
What type of fiber is in fibrocartilage
type 1 collagen
Where can you find elastic cartilage
Head area: ear, epiglottis, laryngeal cartilages, pharyngo-tympanic tubes
Where is hylaine cartilage
It is most abundant
nose, upper respiratory passages, costal cartilages, articular cartilages in legs
Where is fibrocartilage
Intervertebral discs, Pubis symphis, meniscus of knee, insertion of achilees tendon
What is the perichondrium? what are the two layers
layer of dense irregular ct that surrounds catrilage of developing bone. fibrous and chondrogenic layers.
What do chondroblasts do
Make cartilage matric
What are chondrocytes
The mature cells in lacunae of matrix that have differentiated from perichondrium
What are the two kinds of chondrocyte growth in cartilage
appositional or interstitial
what is interstitial growth
division of preexsisting chondrocytes.
what is appositional growth
from the differnetiation of chondrogenic cells in perichondrium
what are isogenous groups
deep groups of 4-8 chondrocytes that are all from a single progenitor cell formed by interstitial growth
What differentiates elastic cartilage from hyaline cartialge
Is like hyaline but also has elastic fibers. looks yellowish color
Which of the cartilages have a visible perichondrium
Elastic and hyaline not fibrocartilage
