OS 203 2.7 Cartilage and Bone Flashcards
only vascularized area in the cartilage
perichondrium (so nourishment of cartilage is by diffusion from the capillaries here)
cartilage origin
mesoderm (-> mesenchyme -> chondroblasts -> chondrocytes -> cartilage)
responsible for the resilience of cartilage
high water content (60-80%)
is cartilage innervated?
nope, neither are they vascularized
specialized type of hyaline cartilage? this is difficult to repair because?
articular cartilage (joints). bc perichondrium is absent and this is where the chondroblasts are.
basophilia in hyaline cartilage matrix is attributed to what?
GAGs (negative) attract hematoxylin (positive)
cartilage that functions for support of tissues & organs, & model for development
hyaline cartilage
hyaline cartilage matrix components (collagen? gags (3)? whut else?)
type II (thin fibrils); chondroitin s, keratan s, hyaluronic acid; water
tracheal rings
hyaline cartilage
nasal septum
hyaline cartilage
larynx
hyaline cartilage
articular surfaces of joints
hyaline cartilage
highly bendable cartilage
elastic cartilage
elastic cartilage stain (2)
weigert and silver (DAW, but shouldn’t it be verhoeff?)
cartilage whose matrix has a lot of hair-like projections
elastic cartilage
cartilage that functions for support with flexibility
elastic cartilage
elastic cartilage matrix components
hyaline matrix components + elastic fibers
external ear
elastic cartilage
external auditory canal
elastic cartilage
larynx
elastic cartilage
epiglottis
elastic cartilage
cartilage that functions for support with great tensile strength; resists compression and tension
fibrocartilage
arrangement of fibrocartilage matrix
rows of thick collagen fibers alternating with rows of chondrocytes
cartilage that lacks perichondrium (besides articular cartilage)
fibrocartilage (but this ain’t in the trans)
fibrocartilage matrix (collagen type and arrangement, compare to hyaline)
type I collagen parallel to stress plane, thicker than collagen in hyaline
intervertebral discs
fibrocartilage
pubic symphysis
fibrocartilage
perichondrium - what type of ct, collagen?
dense irregular ct, type I
main cell in the perichondrium
fibroblast (so not chondroblast…)
perichondrium vs periosteum: bv
more in perichondrium
perichondrium vs periosteum: nerves
none in both
perichondrium vs periosteum: fibrous and cellular layer
yes in both
