2
Q

Hyaline Cartilage

A

relatively few collagen fibers, found at articular surfaces, tips of ribs, trachea (most long bones begin as hyaline cartilage model then convert over time into bone)

2
Q

Fibrocartilage

A

contains many collagen fibers embedded in matrix, resists tensile forces well so difficult to injure, found in intervertebral discs, pubis symphysis, menisci of knee joint

2
Q

Elastic Cartilage

A

contains many elastic fibers (few collagen), springy cartilage, found in external pinna of ear, epiglottis (tissue has memory)

2
Q

Characteristics of Cartilage

A

avascular and anueral, blood vessels only extend to perichondrium, requires nutrients/oxygen that must diffuse through the matrix to the chondrocytes (water and movement assist diffusion)

2
Q

Unit of Bone in Many Vertebrates

A

osteon or Haversian system

2
Q

Bone Characteristics

A

much harder connective tissue than cartilage, direct vascular and nerve supply, extracellular matrix composed of calcium phosphate and other organic salts

2
Q

Osteon (Haversian System)

A

concentric rings of osteocytes interconnected with blood vessels inside, gives bone its rigidity and resistance to pressure

2
Q

Volkmann’s Canals

A

osteons are interconnected by this series of canals

2
Q

How many pounds of thrust needed to break a human femur?

A

25,000..anyone want to test that?

2
Q

Types of Bone Cells

A

osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes

2
Q

Osteoblasts

A

immature bone cells secrete new bone, lay down new bone then become osteocyte

2
Q

Osteocytes

A

maintain equilibrium in mature bone (mineral balance)

2
Q

Osteoclasts

A

remove existing bone so that calcium can go into blood supply when needed, big boys, multinucleated

2
Q

Bone Classification

A

based on appearance (compact vs. spongy/cancellous), based on position (cortical/outside vs. medullary/inside), based on method of formation (endochondral/cartilage model vs. intramembranous)

2
Q

Endochondral Bone Development

A

three basic regions (diaphysis-shaft Sierra, epiphysis-ends, metaphysis-intermediate where growth occurs)

2
Q

Endochondral Bone Growth

A

epiphyseal line - growth plate between epiphysis and metaphysis that closes at the end of puberty, logitudinal (length) and episitional (girth) growth

2
Q

Steps in Endochondral Bone Development

A
  1. formation of hyaline cartilage model 2. formation of the periosteal bone collar (chondrocytes–>osteoblasts) 3. invasion of blood vessels at midpoint of diaphysis 4. ossification spreads to the ends, invasion of blood vessels at ends 5. secondary centers of ossification form in the epiphysis 6. growth stops when ossification fronts close the epiphyseal plates (18 for female, 20/21 for male)
2
Q

Ossification and Growth Zones

A

zone of hyaline cartilage–>zone of proliferation–>zone of hypertrophy–>zone of calcification–>zone of ossification

2
Q

Zone of Hyaline Cartilage

A

resting zone, no mitosis

2
Q

Zone of Proliferation

A

chondrocytes become stimulated and go through mitosis, daughter cells line up in columns

2
Q

Zone of Hypertrophy

A

do you even lift bro?

2
Q

Zone of Calcification

A

cells secrete calcium into matrix

2
Q

Zone of Ossification

A

calcium dense enough to have created bone, chondrocytes now are osteoblasts (on outside of bone matrix, if on the inside it is an osteocyte), osteoclasts are multinucleated and are breaking down bone

2
Q

Lacunae

A

lines of cells in process of proliferation, little lakes

2
Q

Intramembranous Bone Formation

A

all irregular bones (skull), osteoblasts appear in condensations of mesenchyme (immature mesoderm) without a cartilage precursor, bone spicules form

2
Q

Germ Layers in Development

A

ectoderm (nerves and skin), mesoderm (bones and muscle), endoderm (visceral organs)

2
Q

Canaliculi

A

one cell processes reaching out to another, canals connecting osteocytes

2
Q

Axial Skeleton

A

protection for nervous system, stability, 80 bones

2
Q

Appendicular Skeleton

A

extremities, mobility, 126 bones
