lecture 6 bones and skeletal tissues Flashcards
-found throughout the body
cartilage
- surrounds cartilages
- resists outward pressure
- functions in growth and repair of cartilage
- consists primarily of water
- resilient tissue
- springs back to original shape
perichondrium
- all cartilages share some similarities
- cell type is chondrocyte
- chondrocytes are located within lacunae
- matrix contains fibers and jelly like ground substance
characteristics of all types of cartilage
- most abundant cartilage
- chondrocytes appear spherical
- collagen unit fibril is the only type of fiber in the matrix
- ground substance holds a large amount of water
- provides support through flexibility
hyaline cartilage
- contains many elastic fibers
- able to tolerate repeated bending
- locations ;
- epiglottis and cartilage of external ear
elastic cartilage
- resists strong compression and strong tension
- intermediate between hyaline and elastic cartilage
- location ;
- pubic symphysis, menisci of knee, annulus fibrosus
fibrocartilage
-chondroblasts in surround perichondrium produce new cartilage
appositional growth
chondrocytes within cartilage divide and secrete new matrix
interstitial growth
- bones contain several types of tissues
- dominated by bone connective
- contains nervous and blood connective tissue
- contains cartilage in articular cartilages
- contatins epithelial tissue lining blood vessels
tissues in bone
provide hard framework for function of bones
support
skeletal muscles use bones as levers for function of bones
movement
underlying organs for function of bones
protection
reservoir for importnat minerals
mineral storage
bone contains red marrow
blood cell formation
osteoblasts secrete osteocalcin
energy metabolism
- organic components
- cells, fibers, and ground substance
- inorganic components
- mineral salts that invade bony matrix
bone tissue characteristics
- unique composition of matrix
- gives bone exceptional properties
- 355 organic components
- -contribute to flexibility and tensile strength
- 65% inorganic components
- provides exceptional hardness, resist compression
extracellular matrix
3 types of cells that produce or maintain bone
- osteogenic cells
- osteoblasts
- osteocytes
stem cells that differentiate into osteoblasts
osteogenic cells
actively produce and secrete bone matrix
osteoblasts
bone matrix called
osteoid
keep bone matrix healthy
osteocytes
- found in bone tissue
- responsible for resorption of bone
- are derived from a line of white blood cells
- secrete hydrochloric acid and lysosomal enzymes
osteoclasts
