CARTILAGE AND BONE Flashcards
cartilages are for?
support of soft tissues
formation and growth of long bones
durability of articular joints
why cartilage can support soft tissues
because it serves as the framework for the skeleton of a fetusq
Formation and growth of long bones
Support the formation of long bones particularly the _____ cartilage type
hyaline
where can we found cartilage in our body
articular joints
In the sternal ends of ribs, some parts of the respiratory system, the external ear, tendons and ligaments
the ground substance in cartilage matrix is mostly made up of
proteoglycans,
aside from proteoglycan, the ground substance of the cartilage matrix is made up of glycoprotein called
chondronectin
chondronectin
it promote adherence of collagen fibers to the cell surface of the chondrocytes
cartilage consists only of what extracellular fibers
either collagen or elastic fiber
how yo identify the type of cartilage among the 3 types
identify the protein component and extracellular fiber type
the two type of cartilage that is surrounded by a connective tissue capsule
hyalin and elastic cartilage
a dense irregular connective tissue, that is composed of fibroblasts and associated fibers and ground substance.
perichondrium
E. The cartilage itself is _______of blood vessels.
devoid
Chondrocytes are nourished by the _____ of nutrients from the surrounding tissues or synovial fluid of the joint cavities
diffusion
Most abundant type of cartilage
hyaline cartilage
fiber component of hyaline cartilage
collagen type II fibers
Dominant protein component
of extracellular matrix is
.
collagen (type 2)
it appears glistening and fairly white in fresh specimen
hyaline cartilage
b. Translucent to bluish-white in life
hyaline cartilage
c. Important in embryonic
formation and later growth of long bones
hyaline cartlage
hyaline cartilage comprises the _____ where long bones takes place
epiphyseal plates
hyaline cartilage in surfaces of bone joints are called
Articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage in the ends of the ribs are called
coastal cartilage
other than coastal an articulate cartilages, where can we found some hyaline cartilage?
outer wall of respiratoru passages such as Trachea and bronchi. In some parts of the larynx. Including nose and ears
Vascularized connective tissue sheath surrounding
cartilage (except in case of articular cartilage).
perichondrium
Inner layer contains cells that are thought by some to
be fibroblasts and by others to be undifferentiated
mesenchyme cells. In any event, the cells can
differentiate to form chondroblasts.
perichondrium
all (hyaline) cartilages are enveloped by dense irregular connective tissue that is special because of its chondrogenic potency or the ability to form cartilage,
perichondrium
two layers of perichondrium
fibrous layer and chondrogenic layer
consists of fibroblast and stem cells known as osteoprogenitor stem cells that may differentiate into either chondroblast or osteoblast
perichondrium
immature cartilage cells. Secrete extracellular matrix, but are not yet imprisoned in a lacunae
chondroblasts
are cells that synthesize the precursors of the extracellular fibers including the organic component of the cartilage matrix
chondroblasts
are FREE CELLS, not yet found inside the cavity – LACUNAE
chondroblasts
once the cell are already imprisoned inside the lacunae, they are referred to as
CHONDROCYTES
Sometimes form groups of 2 or 3 - isogenic group
CHONDROCYTES
____ chondrocytes are capable of mitosis
young or young chondrocytes
Young chondrocytes form daughter cells known as the ________
These ______ tend to stay close to each other
isogenous cells
________ chondrocytes are elliptical in shape
young or young chondrocytes
