Components of cartilage
Matrix
Chondrocytes
Lacuna
Different kinds of cartilage growth
Appositional
Interstitial
Types of cartilage
Hyaline
Elastic
Fibrocartilage
What do chondrocytes produce?
Matrix
Clear space surrounding chondrocytes
Lacuna
Are vessels and nerves within cartilage?
No
Cartilage growth from the edges, throughout life, surrounded by perichondrium
Appositional
Examples of where appositional growth occurs
Tips of nose, ears
Where is articular cartilage found?
Ends of bones
Does articular cartilage have a perichondrium
No
Characteristics of interstitial growth
Young animals, growth from within the cartilage, contains isogenous groups
Glassy cartilage, includes articular cartilage and the fetal skeleton
Hyaline cartilage
Cartilage with large lacuna, found within the ear
Elastic cartilage
Cartilage with small lacuna, surrounded by collagen, arranged in rows, make up menisci, tendon attachments, and IV discs
Fibrocartilage
Bone cells
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
Bone matrix types
Mineral
Collagen
Microscopic bone organizations
Woven
Lamellar
Configurations of bone
Compact
Cancellous
Types of bone formation
Endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification
Where are osteoblasts found and what do they do?
Lined up on the edges of bones
Make osteoid (unmineralized bone)
Where are osteocytes found and what do they do?
Differentiated osteoblasts within the bone
What are osteoclasts and what do they do?
Large cells on the outside of bone
They remove bone
Depressions made by osteoclasts
Howship’s lacuna
Disease where there are more osteoclasts than blasts
Osteoporosis
What is vitamin A toxicity in cats
Death of osteoclasts, overgrowth of bone
