cartilage and bone Flashcards
characteristics of connective tissue
large amounts of ECM
cells are not attached to each other
what is ECM made of
fibrous proteins and ground substance (composed of proteoglycans and multiadhesive glycoproteins)
characteristics of cartilage
solid, firm, pliable
lots of ECM
no blood vessels or nerves
rapid growth
types of cartilage cells
chondrocytes, chondroblasts
where are chondrocytes found
lacunae
where are chondroblasts found
in perichondrium
what is the function of chondrocytes
maintain and produce ECM
chondrocyte appearance
lots of rough ER
large golgi
multiple mitochondria
what is in the cartilage ECM
cartilage specific type 2 collagens
proteoglycan aggregates
water
what are the 3 types of cartilage
hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage
what fiber does hyaline cartilage have
type 2 collagen
what fiber does elastic cartilage have
elastic fiber
what type of fiber does fibrocartilage have
both type 1 and type 2 collagen
what are some characteristics of hyaline cartilage
-on articular surfaces of bone (help with cushioning)
-found in resp such as larynx trachea bronchi for structural support
-found in fetal skeletal tissue to help in development
-found in epiphyseal plates for bone growth
what are characteristics of elastic cartilage
-dense network of branching and anastomosing fibers
what are some characteristics of fibrocartilage
made up of chondrocytes and matrix and dense connective tissue
collagen 1 and 2
where is fibrocartilage located
intervertebral discs, menisci of stifle, symphysis pubis
where is elastic cartilage found
-found in pinna of ear, epiglottis, external acoustic meatus
types of cartilage growth
appositional and interstitial
what is appositional growth
new cartilage is formed at the surface of an existing cartilage
what is interstitial growth
the chondrocytes divide within the lacunae and the newly divided chondrocytes are in isogenous groups
what is appositional growth
chondroblasts in the inner layer of the perichondrium deposit new cartilage
outer surface of bone is covered with….
periosteum
inner surfaces of bone is covered with—
endosteum
what is the internal bone structure?
cortex= compact/dense bone
spongy bone- sponge like network called trabeculae
bone tissue contains a _______ matrix
mineralized
bone matrix consists of ____-
collagen type 1 fibrils
osteoblast function
secrete bone matrix and initiate mineralization
osteocytes are _____
mature bone cells encased in the bone matrix
osteocyte lacunae is within a network of______
canaliculi
what are functions of osteocytes
regulate movement of ca and P in and out of bone
what are bone lining cells derived from
osteoblasts
what do bone lining cells/inactive osteoblasts do?
cover bone that is not remodeling
