51
Q

2 types of Supporting CT

52
Q

Is cartilage avascular

53
Q

Cartilage

A

Collagen found throughout, repair is very limited bc avascular

54
Q

55
Q

3 types of cartilage

A

Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage

56
Q

Cartilage grows by:

A

Appositional or Inerstitial growth

57
Q

Function and Location of Hyaline

A

Strong, flexible, reduces friction b/w bones. Found b/w ribs & sternum, covering articulating bone surfaces (synovial joints), supports larynx, trachea

58
Q

Does hyaline in joints have a perichondrium lining?

A

No. So it gets its nutrition from synovial fluid

59
Q

Function and location of elastic cartilage

A

Supports and tolerates distortion, memory component. Found external flap of ear, epiglottis, auditory canal

60
Q

Function and location of fibrous cartilage

A

Resists compression, prevents bone to bone contact, limits movement. Found in big areas that need support, pads of knee, b/w pubic bones of pelvis, intervertebral discs

61
Q

Lacunae

A

found within bone & cartilage, chondrocytes/osteocytes reside in them. Help with growth

62
Q

Osteon

A

Concentric layers that form around central canal

63
Q

Canaliculi

A

Canals b/w lacunae of bones

64
Q

Is bone vascular

A

Yes, it has blood vessels. Tissue can repair easier and newly made RBC, WBC, and platelets in bone marrow can get out

65
Q

Is bone vascular

A

Yes, it has blood vessels. Tissue can repair easier and newly made RBC, WBC, and platelets in bone marrow can get out

66

85
Q

2 accessory glands

A

Sebaceous and sweat glands

86

88
Q

2 forms of ossification

A

Intramembraneous and Endochondral

89
Q

Intramembraneous ossification
