Lab 16 Flashcards
Cartilage provides
tough yet flexible support
cartilage is made up of
chondroblasts
Chondrocytes
mature cartilage cells
lacunae(a)
spaces within the matrix
Three types of cartilage
hyaline cartilage
fibrocartilage
elastic cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Description
Function
Location
D: opaque, contains collagen fibers, surrounded by perichondrium with both chondros and lacunae in core of tissue
F: support and reinforcement
L: covering end of long bones, nose, trachea, larynx
Fibrocartilage
Description
Function
Location
D: many collagen fibers; chondrocytes lined up between fibers, no perichondrium
F: absorbs shock
L: intervertebral discs
Elastic Cartilage
Description
Function
Location
D: many elastic fibers visible
F: support with resiliency
L: ear, epiglottis
perichondrium is
membrane of connective tissue fibers covering some cartilage types
perichondrium contains
fibroblasts
osteocytes
bone cells
Types of bone
compact and spongy bone
compact bone matrix deposited in layers called
lamellae(a)
osteon
looks like tree rings
most common unit in compact bone
concentric lamellae are arranged around
the central canal
