Lecture 5: Bones, Joints, Ligaments & Tendons Flashcards
1
Q
Cartilage
A
- Supportive connective tissue
- Joint surfaces
- Ears, nose, vertebral disc
2
Q
Ligaments
A
- Dense regular connective tissue
- Anchor bones to other bones
3
Q
Tendons
A
- Dense regular connective tissue
- Anchor bones to muscles
4
Q
What type of matrix do cartilage and bone have?
A
Dense, solid matrix
5
Q
Hyaline Cartilage
A
- Proteoglycans
6
Q
Elastic Cartilage
A
- Proteoglycans and Elastin fibres
7
Q
Fibrocartilage
A
- Proteoglycans and lots of collagen
8
Q
What do all three subtypes of cartilage have in common? (hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage)
A
- AVASCULAR
- Contain chondrocytes residing in lacunae
9
Q
Compact Bone
A
- Dense (heavy), resists compression
- Organized in concentric circles
10
Q
Spongy Bone
A
- Light, distributes force
- Ends of long bones
- Muscles won’t have to work as hard due to combination of spongy and compact)
11
Q
Bone Tissue
A
Highly vascularized, innervated
12
Q
Bone Marrow
A
- Not a type of supportive connective tissue
- Creates blood cells
13
Q
Endosteum
A
Inner membrane of bone
14
Q
Periosteum
A
Outer membrane of bones
15
Q
Osteogenic Cells
A
Produce other bone cells
