Chapter 6 Flashcards
most abundant skeletal cartilage
provides support with flexibility and resilience.
covers articular parts (writes bones, sutures)
only fiber type is collagen fibers
4 types: articular cartilage, costal cartilgae, respiratory cartilage and nasal cartilage
transluscent
hyaline cartilage
type of hyaline cartilage
connect the ribs to the sternum (breastbone)
costal cartilage
costal cartilage
type of hyaline cartilage
connect the ribs to the sternum (breastbone)
nasal cartilages
type of hyaline cartilage
support external nose
elastic cartilages
resembles hyaline cartilages but contain more stretchy elastic fibers.
better able to stand up to repeated bending
in 2 locations: external ear and epiglottis (flap that bends to cover the larynx when we swallow)
made up of cartilage tissue molded to fit body location & function.
cartilage made mostly of water that allows it to spring back to its original shape after being compressed
contains no nerves or blood vessels
surrounded by dense irregular connective tissue, the perichondrium
3 types: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage
made of cells called chondrocytes encased in small cavities (lucane) within an extracellular matrix
skeletal cartilage
fibrocartilages
cartilage that is highly compressible with great tensile strength
a parallel row of chondrocytes that alternate with collagen fibers.
located at sites that are subject to pressure and stretching (knee and discs between vertebrae)
perichondrium
layer of dense irregular connective tissue.
surrounds cartilage.
resists outward expansion when cartilage is compressed.
contains blood vessels and nutrients that diffuse thru the matrix to reach cartilage cells
respiratory cartilage
type of hyaline cartilage
form skeleton of the larynx (voicebox) and reinforce respiratory passageways
type of hyaline cartilage
support external nose

3 types: hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage
made of cells called chondrocytes encased in small cavities (lucane) within an extracellular matrix
lacunae
small cavities that contain chondrocyte cells.
located in extracellular matrix containing ground substance and fibers
small cavities that contain chondrocyte cells.

fibrocartilages
articular cartilage
type of hyaline cartilage
covers the end of most bones at movable joints
type of hyaline cartilage
form skeleton of the larynx (voicebox) and reinforce respiratory passageways

layer of dense irregular connective tissue.
surrounds cartilage.
resists outward expansion when cartilage is compressed.

elastic cartilages
cartilage growth
cartilage can accomodate mitosis
2 ways: appositional growth and interstitial growth
cartilage growth ends during adolescene when skeleton stops growing.
cartilage can become calcified (hardened due to deposit of calcium salts)
appositional growth
cartilage forming cells surrounding the perichondrium secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage tissue
interstitial growth
chondrocytes in the lacunae divide and secrete new matrix which expands cartilage from within
cartilage forming cells surrounding the perichondrium secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage tissue
appositional growth
chondrocytes in the lacunae divide and secrete new matrix which expands cartilage from within
interstitial growth
axial skeleton
forms long axis of the body
includes skull, vertebral column and rib cage
these protect suppport and carry other body parts
appendicular skeleton
consist of upper and lower limbs and the girdles (shoulder and hip bones)
limbs help us move and manipulate our environment
attach limbs to the axial skeleton
forms long axis of the body
includes skull, vertebral column and rib cage

appendicular skeleton
long bones
bones that are longer than they are wide plus two ends which are often expanded.
named for elongated shape, not overall size (these include finger bones)
most limb bones (except wrist and ankle) are this
short bones
cube shaped bones.
in the wrist and ankles.
sesamoid bones are a type of this
sesamoid bones
a type of short bone
in a tendon
some act to alter the direction of pull of a tendon
e.g. patella
flat bones
bones that are thin, flattened and a bit curved.
examples are sternum, ribs and most skull bones
irregular bones
bones with complicated shapes that do not fit the other classes
examples are the vertebra and hip bones

irregular bones
functions of bones
support, protection, movement, mineral and growth factor storage (stores calcium and phosphate), hematopoiesis, triglyceride (fat) storage, hormone production
hematopoiesis
blood cell formation
occurs in red marrow cavities of certain bones

compact bone or lamellar bones
dense outer layer of bone
looks smooth and solid
made of matrix tubes called lamella
spongy bone
internal layer of the bone.
honeycomb of small pieces called trabeculae
in between trabeculae is red or yellow bone marrow

diaphysis
shaft that forms that long axis of the bone in long bones
made of compact bone and surround the central medullary cavity, which contains fat (yellow marrow)
medullary cavity
central of the diaphysis (shaft)
contains fat (yellow marrow) and is called the yellow marrow cavity.
epiphyses
bone ends in a long bone
usually broader than diaphysis
articular (hyaline) cartilage covers the joint surfaces to cushion the bones during movement
filled with red bone marrow
epiphyseal line
portion of bone where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
comes from epiphyseal plate during childhood
also called metaphysis
epiphyseal plate
epiphyseal line during childhood.
between diaphysis and epiphysis.
disc of hyalin cartilage that grows during childhood to lengthen the bone

periosteum
double layer of long bones

supplied with nerve fibers and blood vessels that enter the marrow cavity via the nutrient foramina
anchors tendons and ligaments
nutrient foramina
opening that allows nerve fibers and blood vessels of periosteum to enter the marrow cavity
sharpley’s fibers
very strong collagen fibers that secure periosteum to the bone.
strengthens attachment of tendons and ligaments (bones will break before these will)
endosteum
