The Skeletal System☆☆☆☆☆ Flashcards
Name of cartilage cells
chondrocyte:
Chondrocytes are mainly responsible for the production of collagen and the extracellular matrix that will lead to the maintenance of cartilaginous tissues within joints.
Tendon
Connects skeletal muscle to bone
Ligaments
Connects bone to bone
It give them extra stability and strength
Function of the articular cartilage
●allows bones to glide smoothly against each other.
● the ability to resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support in bony areas where flexibility is needed
What is the function of theIntervertebral Disc
allow movement between adjacent vertebral bodies, to absorb shock, and to transmit loads through the vertebral column
Articular cartilage
It is made up of hyaline cartilage tissue and gives a smooth surface for movement
Cartilage covering the long bone
Cartilage at the end of your bones reduces friction and prevents them from rubbing together when you use your joints.
It acts as a shock absorber throughout your body.
