M5 - Cartilage and Bone Flashcards
Perichondrium
Dense layer of irregular CT, fibrous outer layer, resists outward pressure
Hyaline cartilage
Location - between tips of ribs and bones of sternum, covering bone surfaces @ synovial jts, supporting larynx, trachea, bronchi, nasal septum
Fxns - provides stiff but flexible support, reduces friction between bony surfaces
Fibrocartilage
Location - pads (menisci) within knee jt, between pubic bones of pelvis, intervertebral discs
Fxns - resists compression, prevents bone to bone contact, limits relative movement
Elastic cartilage
Locations - auricle of external ear, epiglottis, auditory canal, larynx
Fxn - support, distortion without damage, returns to og shape
Periosteum
Outermost layer
Osteogenic cells
Stem cells that grow and divide and differentiate
Endosteum
Innermost layer
Osteoblast
Build bone
Osteocyte
Maintain and regulate long term maintenance of bone
Osteoclast
Breakdown and reabsorb bone, help put calcium in bloodstream
Compact bone
Outer portion, dense, compact, made of osteons
Osteon
Fxnal unit of bone
Lacunae
House osteocytes
Canaliculi
Tiny canals that allow lacunae to connect and communicate w each other and to central canal
