CARTILAGES Flashcards
The Important Skeletal Cartilages
Articular Cartilages
Costal Cartilages
Laryngeal Cartilages
Tracheal and Bronchial Cartilages
Nasal Cartilages
Intervertebral Discs
CARTILAGE supporting the external ear
Are also distinguished by the fact that they contain no nerves and very few blood vessels.
CARTILAGE TISSUES
Which acts to resists distortion of the cartilage when it is subjected to pressure and plays a role in cartilage growth and repair.
Perichondrium
The 3 Cartilage Tissue Type
HYALINE CARTILAGE
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
FIBROCARTILAGE
Provides sturdy support with some resilience or “give”
HYALINE CARTILAGES
Much more flexible than hyaline cartilage, and it tolerates repeated better.
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
consist of rows of chondrocytes alternating with rows of thick collagen fibers.
FIBROCARTILAGE
has a great tensile strength and can withstand heavy compression, is used to construct the intervertebral discs and cartilages within the knee joint.
FIBROCARTILAGE
Covers the bone ends at movable joint
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
Found connecting the ribs to the sternum
COSTAL CARTILAGE
Largely construct the larynx or voice box
LARYNGEAL CARTILAGE
Reinforce other passageways of the respiratory system
TRACHEAL AND BRONCHIAL CARTILAGE
Supports the external nose
NASAL CARTILAGE
Separate and cushion bones of the spine
INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS
2 Basic Kinds of Osseous Tissue in Adult Skeleton.
COMPACT BONE
SPONGY OR CANCELLOUS BONE
