CH 2: Cartilage And Bone Formation Flashcards
What is responsible for the strength of cartilage? its resilience?
Collagen for sheer strength and water (tissue fluid) for resilience
List the three major components of cartilage matrix.
Collagen water GAG’s
List three locations and three functions for hyaline cartilage.
Hyaline is shiny glass and most common in the human body.
The location is trachea nose bone joints growth plates larynx and rib cage
The function: support cushion and glide intermediate of elastic and fibro
The mature cartilage found in lacuna.
Chondrocyte
Secrete collagen to initiate cartilage formation; analogous to osteoblast
Chondroblasts
Analogous to periosteum
Perichondrium
List two locations into functions very elastic cartilage
Elastic cartilage is the most elastin
Found: the epiglottis and external ear
Function: structure and flexibility
List two locations and two functions for the fibrocartilage
Fibro cartilage is thicker collagen and no perichondrium
the function resists conpression and structure
location: meniscus, vertebral discs, and bone repair.
Which type of cartilage is the strongest
Fibrocartilage
Which type of cartilage lacks a Perichondrium?
Fibrocartilage
Carlos is classified as what type of tissue
Dense irregular connective tissue
Why does cartilage grow and repair itself so slowly
Because it is avascular
No blood supply
Forming bone from soft membrane
Intramembranous ossification
Bone forming from soft tissue but no cartilage.
Found in cranial skull or possibly clavicle
Mesenchymal➡️osteogenic➡️osteoblast➡️bone.
Intramembranous ossification
Future bone composed of hyaline cartilage then converted to bone.
- most bones of the body form by endochondral ossification
- mesenchymal➡️chondroblasts➡️hyaline cartilage➡️osteogenic➡️osteoblasts➡️bone
Endochondral ossification
