Mace - Bone Flashcards
supporting CT of skeletal system (4)
cartilage
bones
ligaments
tendons
what are the 3 types of cartilage
hyaline
fibro
elastic
what are the 2 types of bone tissue
compact
spongy
wha type of tissue are ligaments made of
dense regular
what type of tissue are ligaments made of
dense regular
dense regular tissue is __,
which makes it hard to heal
avascular
ligaments anchor __
to __
bones
bones
tendons anchor __
to __
muscles
bone
cartilage is made of __ CT, which makes it more flexible than bone
semi-rigid
describe the matrix of cartilage
semisolid
what are the contents of the semisolid matrix of cartilage (3)
ground substane
collagen fibers
elastic fibers
the matrix of cartilage does not contain __
or __
calcium
phosphorus
what is ground substance
chondroitin sulfate
what produces the matrix of cartilage
chondroblasts
chondroblasts produce the matrix and surround themselves until they are trapped in a cavity called a
lacunae
once chondroblasts become enclosed in lacunae, they are called
chondrocytes
what is the sheath that surrounds elastic and and most hyaline cartilage
perichondrium
perichondrium is made of
dense irregular CT
how does the perichondrium contribute to cartilage growth throughout life
contains a reserve population of chondroblasts
in its mature state, cartilage is __
avascular
if mature cartilage is avascular, how are waste and nutrients transported in and out
diffusion
why does cartilage heal slowly after damage
bc it is avascular
what are the structures within the hyaline cartilage in this pic
chondrocytes
what is the blue in this pic showing
locations of hyaline cartilage
