Cartilage Connecive Tissue Flashcards
Hyaline cartilage
Toughest cartilage -wear an tear
Loaded with collagen fibers
Nose and trachea
Blood
Cells originate from red bone marrow by hemotoblasts
Erythrocytes-RBC
Leukocytes-WBC
Thrombocytes- platelets
Fiber cartilage
Alt rows of cells, matrix and fibers create a tissue that absorb forces like a spring
Elastic cartilage
Strong like hyaline but elastic fibers allows it to return to original shape after bending
Ears and epiglottis
Bone
2 types-compact &spongy
Very vascular
Large nerve supply& collagen fibers
Osteoblasts, osteoclasts& osteocytes
Bone connective tissue
Lamella-ring of cells
Lacunae-pools that holds cells
Canaliculi- canal to central canal csrries blood vessels and nerves
Volkmans or perforating canal- travel at right angles connecting osteons
Characteristics
Matrix is firm because of proteoglycans
A vascular
No room for nerves
Perichondrium surrounds cartilage
