Q

Hyaline Cartilage

A

Growth Plates

19
Q

Fibrocartilage

A

Meniscus, shock absorbers

20
Q

Elastic cartilage

A

Ears

21
Q

Compact and Spongy

A

Bone

22
Q

Most abundant type of cartilage, found on the surface of joints, and forms foundation for fetal skeleton growth

A

Hyaline Cartilage

23
Q

Connective tissue layer that surrounds elastic and extra-articular cartilage

A

Perichondrium

24
Q

Consists mostly of collagen fibers, resists tensile and compression forces.
Found in meniscus, intervertebral discs, and pubic symphysis

A

Fibrocartilage

25
Q

Mostly made of elastic fibers, permutes flexibility with structure
found in the epiglottis and auricle of ear

A

Elastic Cartilage

26
Q

Interstitial Growth and Appositional Growth

A

Types of Cartilage Growth

27
Q

Chondrocytes divide, mane new chondroblasts, chondroblasts produce new matrix

A

Interstitial Growth

28
Q

Stem cells at perichondrium become chondroblasts, secrete more matrix and become chondrocytes

A

Appositional Growth

29
Q

Support, Storage, Production, Protection, and Leverage

A

Function of Bone Tissue

30
Q

Where is spongy bone found

A

Towards proximal and distal end of bones, in flat bones

31
Q

What does spongy bone contain

A

Red Bone Marrow

32
Q

Build bone

A

Osteoblasts

33
Q

Maintain bone

A

Osteocyte

34
Q

Break down bone

A

Osteoclast

35
Q

Long, Short, Flat, Irregular, and Sesamoid

A

Types of bone

36
Q

Wider ends of long bones containing red bone marrow and covered by articular (hyaline) cartilage

A

Epiphysis

37
Q

Junction between the epiphysis and the diaphysis that contain the epiphyseal plate

A

Metaphysis

38
Q

Shaft of a long bone that contains the medullary cavity

A

Diaphysis

39
Q

Inner layer of the medullary cavity that is the site for bone growth and development

A

Endosteum

40
Q

Outer layer of the bone that consists of both a fibrous and cellular layer

A

Periosteum

41
Q

Inner space within the diaphysis that houses yellow bone marrow

A

Medullary Cavity

42
Q

Bone gets wider, Osteoblasts on the outer surface deposit new matrix and Osteoclasts on the inner surface break down bone

A

appositional Bone Growth

43
Q

Bone gets longer

A

Interstitial Bone Growth
