Chapter 6 Lecture Flashcards
made of highly resilient, molded cartilage tissue that consists primarily of water
Skeletal cartilage
Provides support, flexibility, and resilience
Most abundant type; contains collagen fibers only
Articular (joints), costal (ribs), respiratory (larynx), nasal cartilage (nose tip)
Hyaline cartilage
Similar to hyaline cartilage, but contains elastic fibers
External ear and epiglottis
Elastic cartilage
Thick collagen fibers: has great tensile strength
Menisci of knee; vertebral discs
Fibrocartilage
Cartilage-forming cells in perichondrium secrete matrix against external face of existing cartilage
New matrix laid down on surface of cartilage
Appositional growth
Chondrocytes within lacunae divide and secrete new matrix, expanding cartilage from within
New matrix made within cartilage
Interstitial growth
What are the 7 important functions of bones?
Support, Protection, Movement, Mineral and growth factor storage, blood cell formation, triglyceride storage, hormone production
Long axis of body
Skull, vertebral column, rib cage
Axial Skeleton
Bones of upper and lower limbs
Girdles attaching limbs to axial skeleton
Appendicular Skeleton
covers outside of compact bone
Periosteum
covers inside portion of compact bone
endosteum
tubular shaft that forms long axis of bone
Diaphysis
ends of long bones that consist of compact bone externally and spongy bone internally
Epiphyses
Between diaphysis and epiphysi
epiphyseal line
outer layer consisting of dense irregular connective tissue consisting of Sharpey’s fibers that secure to bone matrix
Fibrous layer
