lab 5 cartilage Flashcards
what are the three types of cartilage
hyaline, elastic, and fibrous cartilage.
most prevalent cartilage in vertebrates.
hyaline
In the fetus, ____ cartilage forms most of the skeletal blueprint before it is replaced by bone and bone marrow through a process known as ____
hyaline
endochondral ossification
In adults, hyaline cartilage persists ____
as the nasal, laryngeal, tracheobronchial, and costal cartilages, articular surface of synovial joints (e.g. knee, shoulder).
this tissue has tremendous resilience and is uniquely suited for withstanding compressive forces.
hyaline cartilage
ECM of hyaline cartilage
Iavascular extracellular matrix (ECM)
thin (type II collagen)
amorphous material consisting largely of sulfated proteoglycans
(e.g. the large proteoglycan aggrecan, which contains aggregates of hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate)
Hyaline cartilage amorphous ground substance is made of
sulfated proteoglycans (e.g. the large proteoglycan aggrecan, which contains aggregates of hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate).
The sulfate groups on the chondroitin and keratan sulfate molecules strongly attract ___ dyes and thus determine the basophilic staining characteristic of cartilage.
Thus, if your slide is stained with H&E, the cartilage ECM will stain a ____
basic
very strong purple
Most cartilages are sheathed by a two-layered ____
perichondrium
The outermost layer of the perichondrium consists of _____ the cells (____) in this layer are spindle-shaped.
dense irregular connective tissue (type I collagen)
fibroblasts
The inner layer is ____ consisting of 2-3 layers of flattened, fibroblast-like ____cells.
chondrogenic
chondrogenic
young cartilage cells)
chondroblasts
chondroblasts secrete ECM and become trapped within it. They are then called ___
chondrocytes.
During tissue preparation, chondrocytes retract from the lacunar walls, often leaving gaping holes. This shrinkage is an artifact and does not exist in life.
daughter cells of condocytes are called ___ and are separated by a very narrow _____
isogenous groups
matrical septum
The ECM immediately enveloping the chondrocytes is the ____.
territorial matrix,
The ECM that is farther away from the chondrocytes that is paler is the ____
interterritorial matrix
The ECM of elastic cartilage contains:
elastic fibers
type II collagen
sulfated proteoglycans
Elastic cartilage is found in the___
auricle of the external ear, and a major portion of the epiglottis.
Elastic cartilage has ___
remarkable flexibility and the ability to regain its original shape after deformation
The elastic fibers in an H &E slide are ____
Weigert’s _____
Orcein ____
pale pink
purple
red
true or false
elastic cartilage is vascular in adults
false
EC is Avascular is adults
____ is generally avascular, and lacks a perichondrium. It is a hybrid tissue, with many characteristics of dense connective tissue and hyaline cartilage
Fibrous Cartilage
ECM of fibrous cartilage have ___
type 1 and type 11 collagen fibers
low concentration of proteoglycans.
What color is fibrous cartilage
opaque
Where can you find fibrous cartilage
located in transitional zones between hyaline cartilage and dense connective tissue.
pubic symphyses, intervertebral discs, and at points where tendons insert into bones.
home of condrocytes
lacunae
in fibrous cartilage isogenous groups are in
rows
intra-cartilaginous ossification is another name for
Endochondral ossification
periosteal bone and many cranial bones, arise through ____
intramembranous ossification
epiphyseal plates or discs is another name for
cartilaginous growth plates
