Q

What cells are found in the chondrogenic perichondrium?

A

Chondrogenic, chondrocytes, and chondroblast

20
Q

Chondrogenic cells are derived from?

A

Mesenchyme, occasionally osteoprogenitor cells

21
Q

What do chondrogenic cells differentiate into?

A

Chondroblasts

Sometimes osteoprogenitor cells

22
Q

Do chondrogenic cells go through mitosis?

A

Yes

23
Q

Chondrocytes are derived from?

A

Chondroblasts

24
Q

What do chondrocytes differentiate into?

A

Nothing, they are the mature cell.

25
Q

What are the functions of chondrocytes?

A
Produce CIF (calcification inhibitory factor),
Inhibits salts from adhering to matrix of cartilige (makes brittle)
26
Q

Do chondrocytes go through mitosis?

A

Yes, probably

27
Q

Chondroblasts are derived from what?

A

Chondrogenics, maybe mesenchyme.

28
Q

Do chondroblasts undergo mitosis?

A

No

29
Q

Which hyaline cells require little oxygen?

A

Chondrocytes

30
Q

What is the location of the perichondrium?

A

peripheral to cartilage

31
Q

What are the two exceptions to the typical perichondrium location?

A

Articular cartilage

Epiphyseal growth plates

32
Q

What type of fiber is found in fibrous perichondrium?

A

Collagen I

33
Q

What is the fiber type found in chondrogenic perichondrium?

A

Collagen II

34
Q

What cells are found in fibrous perichondrium?

A

Fibroblast

35
Q

What cells are found in the chondrogenic perichondrium?

A

Chondroblasts and chondrogenic cells

36
Q

Which is vascular chondrogenic or fibrous perichondrium?

A

Fibrous perichondrium

37
Q

Chondrification begins from what?

A

Mesenchyme » chondroblast

38
Q

Chondroblast secrete what?

A

Matrix

39
Q

Cartilage expands outwards until it runs into a blood supply. What is the stopping point of cartilage development.

A

Chondrogenic perichondrium

40
Q

What are the three main structures of articular cartilage?

A

1) surface layer of collagen I
2) columns of chondrocytes
3) thin crystalline mineral plate next to bone

41
Q

The outer layer of a joint capsule is continuous with ______and composed of ________?

A

Periosteum of adjacent bone and fibrous dense CT.

42
Q

Which joint capsule layer Regenerates rapidly if damaged?

A

Synovial layer

43
Q

Synovial fluid contains what?

A

high concentrations of HA and lubricin (glycoprotein)

44
Q

What are the three regions of synovial membranes?

A

Fibrous, areolar, and adipose

45
Q

What are the two functions of appositional cartilage growth?

A

Enlarge existing cartilage, and healing

46
Q

The function of elastic cartilage is stretching. T/F

A

FALSE, it is to increase flexibility

47
Q

Fibrocartilage is avascular except where?

A

Knee minisci (some peripheral vascularization)

48
Q

What is the main limitation of fibrocartilage?

A

No appositional healing (100% scar tissue)
