PNS And Skeletal System Flashcards
Myelin sheath
Myelin cells providing insulation to nerves
Nodes of Ranvier
Gap between myelin cells
Neuromuscular junction
Synapse between muscle and nerve
Chondroblast
Produces collagen cells
Chondrocyte
Cartilage cell
Osteoblast
Dividing bone cells
Osteocytes
Resting bone cells
Osteoclast
Destroys osteocytes/ bone
Neuron
Cell carrying impulses
Perineurial cell
Cell composing perineuroneum
Glial cells
Myelin cell
Oligodendrocyte
Form segments of myelin sheath for many separate axons simultaneously in CNS
Fibrocartilage
Has T1 collagen, found where tendons attach to bones, intervertebral discs, and in pubic symphysis
Hyaline cartilage
Has GAGs and T2 collagen, in nose, trachea, robs joining sternum
Elastic cartilage
Contains elastic fibres and T2 collagen, found in external ear and epiglottis
