Outer layer of perichondrium
29
Layer for growth and maintenance
Inner layer
30
- Have cartilage, it expands outward by growing from its own ledge - this is facilitated by the perichondrium
Appositional Growth
31
Appositional Growth Steps (6)
1. Starts in the Perichondrium 2. Mesenchymal (stem) cells at periphery form in inner layer of perichondrium 3. Mesenchyme move toward the matrix to become chondrogenic cells 4. Chondrogenic cells aggregate and become chondroblasts 5. Chondroblasts secrete ,matrix and force cells apart 6. Chondroblasts become enclosed in matrix and become chondrocytes
32
Is Appositional Growth a Fast or a Slow Process?
Slow- because there is no blood supply, oxygen, and glucose
33
- Internal cartilage growth - Chondrocytes are enclosed in matrix and divide - As they move apart, the matrix forms between them

I figured I would put this in here to give you a break from studying and hopefully put a smile on your face! I want you to know that I am very thankful that Janelle introduced me to you in spring semester last year. If it wasn't for her I would have never met the amazing person you are and I would be short one of my best friends. Well that is all I have right now. Until next time, Connor :) P.S. get back to work now
