Exam 1 Cartilage and Bone Flashcards
What are the 3 types of Cartilage
- Hyaline Cartilage
- Elastic Cartilage
- Fibrocartilage
Small aggrigation of chondrocytes embeded in an amorphous matrix of ground substance reinforced by collagen type II fibers
Hyaline Cartilage
where is Hyaline cartilage located?
axial and appendicular skeleton, growth plate, articular cartilage, nose, larynx, tracheal rings, bronchi
what is articular cartilage
Hyaline cartilage located on the articular surface of bones
characteristics of elastic cartilage
- contains perichondrium, chondroblasts, and chondrocytes
- abundant elastic fibers
- flexible
where is elastic cartilage found?
larynx, epiglottis, auditory canal, pinna of ear
characteristics of fibrocartilage
- no perichondrium
- contains chondrocytes and lacunae
- type 1 collagenous fibers
- support and strength
Where is fibrocartilage found?
intervertebral discs, menisci, insertions of tendons, andibular symphysis, pubic symphysis
what are the 2 types of bone?
- woven (immature) Bone
2. Lamellar (mature) Bone
type of bone that is present during fetal development
woven bone
type of bone composed of successive concentric layers of bone around central canal containing blood vessels and nerves
Lamellar bone
T/F Woven bones contains collagen fibers arranged in parallel pattern?
F, Fibers randomly arranged
T/F Lamellar bone contains collagen fibers arranged in parallel pattern
T
What are Mesenchymal cells
stem cells of bone and cartilage
What is perichondrium?
zone of condensed connective tissue containing elongated fusiform cells that resemble fibroblasts
have cartilage forming potential
give rise to chondroblasts
what is ground substance composed of?
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
what are proteoglycans?
GAGs bound to protein
responsible for the strong flexible property of cartilage
what are chondrocytes?
Mature cells of cartilage
have active role in synthesis of ground substance and fibrous elements of cartilage matrix
what is the cartilage matrix made of?
- Collagen fibers
- elastic fibers
- proteoglycans
what is the territorial matrix?
the portion of the ECM surrounding each chondrocyte
two types of cartilage growth
- interstitial growth
2. appositional growth
growth from within the cartilage
interstitial growth
growth at the periphery of the cartilage
appositional growth
what is the classification of cartilage based upon?
amount of collagen or elastic fibers present within the ECM
