Lecture 4 Flashcards
structural types of cartilage
cartilage is a connective tissue (cells, matrix, fibers)
tough, resilient, avascular gel, capable of fast growth
components of cartilage
water
collagen (type II) protein
proteoglycans
what does chondr mean
cartilage
what are 3 TYPES of cartilage
hyaline cartilage
elastic cartilage
fibrocartilage
what is hyaline cartilage
cartilage attached to bone is HYALINE cartilage
collagen fibers
example: part of nasal septum, ribs, sternum, joint surfaces, & developing bone
most cells but least a mouth of collagen
what is elastic cartilage
elastin fibers
example: external ear, tip of nose
more elastic
rebound nice and easy
what is fibrocartilage
example?
densely inter-woven collagen fibers
example: pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs
almost identical to a tendon but it has cartilage properties
LEAST amount of cells but MOST amount of cartilage
is a bone a connective tissue
yes
is bone living
YES
what does bone do
stores calcium, fat, & makes blood cells
what are some functions of bone tissue
structural support for the body
storage of minerals (calcium) and lipids (fat)
blood cell production (hematopoiesis)
protection (rib cage, skull, spinal column)
leverage (muscle attachment = movement)
which of the following functions is common to both skin and bone
fat storage
what is the structure of a long bone
diaphysis = middle part of bone (hollow)
epiphysis = ends of bone (spongey)
metaphysis = zone between diaphysis and metaphysis
what is the nutrient foramen
hole in diaphysis for blood vessel
what is the medullary cavity
(bone marrow) cavity within diaphysis (hallow space)
what does yellow bone marrow contain
fat cells
what does red bone marrow contain
blood cells
what is the periosteum
membrane on external surface of bone
wraps around EVERY ONE of our bones
it’s a growth limiting tissue that keeps a bone from getting too big
what is endosteum
membrane on inner walls of the medullary cavity
INSIDE medullary cavity
what is between periosteum and endosteum
compact bone
what is compact bone composed of
osteons
lamellae
osteocytes
