Cartilages Flashcards
bones and cartilages are composed of what
cells, fibers and ground substance
cartilage is formed from the mesoderm germ layer known as
chondrogenesis
mesenchyme and chondroblasts is differentiated by
cells that secrete major components
fibroblasts of the perichondrium differentiate into chondroblast
apositional growth
by mitosis chondroblasts
interstitial growth
high ecm
hyaline cartilage
high elastic fibers
elastic cartilage
high collagen fibers
fibrocartilage
glassy
matrix
synthesizes all matrix components
chondrocytes
surrounds lacuna
capsular
surrounds clusters
territorial
surrounds territorial matrix
interstitial
traps and immobilize water
proteoglycans
predominant ct fiber

gross appearance of elastic cartilage
yellowish
resembles dense regular ct
