HISTO LEC - Bone and Cartilage Flashcards
Consistency of ECM of cartilage
gel-like
a type of supportive CT which Bear Mechanical Stress without permanent distortion
cartilage
components of cartilage
chondrocytes and ECM
the chondrocytes of cartilage are located in a
lacuna
a component of cartilage responsible for the synthesis and excretion of ECM materials
chondrocytes
nourishment of cartilage is through
diffusion
cartilage is vascular or avascular
avascular
a dense irregular CT w/c surrounds the cartilage
vascular; has nerves and lymphatic vessels
perichondrium
perichondrium is only present in
hyaline and elastic cartilage
most common and most studied cartilage
hyaline
glassy and transparent/translucent cartilage
hyaline
bluish white and transluscent cartilage
hyaline
type of cartilage that serves as a temporary skeleton of the bone
hyaline
location of hyaline cartilage
Location: trachea, larynx, bronchi, anterior ends of ribs,
Function of hyaline
provides smooth surface for movement of joints,
flexibility and support
cartilage which Contains elastic fibers
Function = gives support, maintains shape, allows flexibility
elastic cartilage
cartilage Yellowish color when unstained
elastic cartilage
location of elastic cartilage
Found in external ear, auditory tubes, epiglottis.
Function of elastic cartilage
gives support, maintains shape, allows flexibility
type of cartilage Intermediate between Dense CT and Hyaline CT
fibrocartilage
type of cartilage
contains bundles of collagen in the matrix that are usually more visible under microscopy
fibrocartilage
location of fibrocartilage
Found in the pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, and attachments of certain ligaments.
Function of fibrocartilage
support and fusion, and absorbs shocks.
cartilage that Do not possess distinct perichondrium
fibrocartilage
major component of intervertebral disks
Annulus fibrosus (Type I collagen) Nucleus Pulposus (Hyaluronic acid)
type of supportive CT
Main constituent of the adult skeleton (206)
Mineralized Tissue
OSSEOUS TISSUE
Functions of osseous tissue:
> Support soft tissues and provides attachment
Protects internal organs
Stores minerals
Hematopoiesis
component of osseous tissue responsible for tenacity,
elasticity, resilience
organic or living components
component of osseous tissue responsible for hardness and rigidity
Inorganic (non- living) components
found in lacuna(cavities), between layers (lamellae) of the bone matrix; located exclusively at the the surface of the bone matrix
Osteocytes:
bone formers; synthesize the organic components (peptidogycans, matrix products and type I collagen)
Osteoblasts:
giant cells involved in bone resorption and remodelling of bone tissue; and they are found in the endosteum
Osteoclasts:
mature bone cells
osteocytes
structural element of osseous tissue thin cylindrical spaces function for communication and exchange
Canaliculi:
function of canaliculi
function for communication and exchange
> CT Linings of osseous tissue
> Endosteum
> Periosteum
Forms the foci of hydroxyapatite formation
Matrix vesicles
Types of CT Proper
dense CT
Loose CT
New bone layer
Osteoid
Types of Loose CT
Areolar
Adenoid
Mucous
Reticular
Other secretions of the osteoblast
Osteocalcin
Classification of CT
CT Proper and Specialized CT
Osteoblast are derived from
Osteoprogenitor cells
Types of Specialized CT
Bone
Cartilage
Blood
Found in the endoteum and periosteum
Osteoblasts
Function of Loose CT
Support structure with some degree of pressure and low friction
Young form of osteocytes
Osteoblasts
Function of Areolar CT
strength, support and elasticity
Shape of lacuna
Spindle
Function of Dense CT
resistance and protection
Shape of osteocyte
Almond
Function of White Adipose Tissue
long term energy storage
Almond shaped with long cytoplasmic granules that penetrate the canaliculu
Osteocytes
Function of Brown Adipose Tissue
heat production
Location of osteoclasts
Resorption bays or howship lacunae
Function of Reticular Tissue
forms stroma of organs
binds smooth muscle tissue cells
