histology 2- cartilage Flashcards
origin of chondroblast
mesenchyme cells
cartilage composition
cells and ECM
cartilage
composition
perichondrium
avascular
cartilage cells
chondroblast
chondocytes
chondroblast
on outside surface of tissue, produce ECM, not completely surrounded by ECM yet
chondrocytes
also produce matrix, also maintain it. on inside of cartilage, completely surrounded by ECM
when do chondroblast turn into chondrocytes
when ECM completely surrounds the cell
what is space called that cells sit inside after surrounded by ECM
lacunae
characteristics of cartilage ECM
- 95% water
- Rich in GAG’s and proteoglycans
- allows for withstanding forces, resilent
dense CT covering most cartilage
perichondrium
perichondrium
contains blood vessels, nerves, chondrogenic cells, type 1 cartilage, important in growth and maintenance of cartilage
chondrogenic cells
found in perichondrium, produce chondroblast
what limits diffusion thus limiting growth in cartilage
avascular
2 mechanisms of growth
appositional growth
interstital growth
appositional growth
growth by additional to existing surface. generation of new chondroblast, adding in addiontal ECM
interstital growth
growth by internal expansion. proliferation of chondrocytes and formation of isogenous groups. have to start producing ECM in between cells which makes tissue grow
