19
Q

what are the stages of cartilage growth and where does it happen

A

appositional growth - at the edge
intersitial growth - within the matric

20
Q

what does the perichondrium form

A

chondrogenic cells

21
Q

what does chondorgenic cells differeinate into

A

chondroblasts

22
Q

what do chondroblasts deposit

A

layers of the matrix at the periphery of the cartilage

23
Q

what does the later stages of cartilage development

A

increases the thickness by appoisitonal growht

24
Q

what does the intersitial growth

A

by the mitosis of chondrcytes

25
Q

what does chondrotes divide and secrete in intersitial growth

A

matrix components and then move apart and become isolated in their individual lacunae

26
Q

what time does intersitial growth ocucr

A

ealry phases of cartialg formation

27
Q

how does cartilage repair if small injury

A

be repaired by activity of chondrogenic cells of perichondrium
these cells differentiate into chondroblasts migrate to the injured area and repair the defect by producing new cartilage matrix

28
Q

how does cartilage repair if large

A

perichondrial cells cannot repair
instead perichondrial fibroblasts produce a scar of dense connective tissue that fills the defect in the cartilage

29
Q

type of collagen fibres for hyaline

A

type II fibres

30
Q

type of collagen fibres for fibrocartialge

A

type I + II Fibres

31
Q

type of collagen fibres for elastic cartialge

A

type II fibres and elastic fibres

32
Q

which type of cells have a perichondrium

A

Hyaline - expect articualr cartilage and epiphyseal plates
Elastic - Does

33
Q

What are the main cells of hyaline cartilage

A

chondroblasts and chondrocytes

34
Q

what is the main cells for elastic

A

chondroblasts and chondrocytes

35
Q

what is the main cells for fibrocartialge

A

chondrocytes and fibroblasts

36
Q

type of fibres in ECM for hyaline

A

Type II collagen

37
Q

type of fibres in ECM for elastic

A

Type II collagen and Elastic fibres

38
Q

type of fibres in ECM for firbocartialge

A

Type I and Type II collagen

39
Q

What cartilages undergoes calcification

A

Hyaline - during endochronral bone formation (old age)
Fibrocartilage - during bone repair

40
Q

Function of hyaline cartilage

A

resists compression
provides low friction surface for joints
strutucal support in respiratory
foundation for development of foetal skeleton

41
Q

functions for elastic cartilage

A

provides flexible support for soft tissue

42
Q

function fibrocartialge

A

resists deformation under stress

43
Q

where is hyaline found

A

trachea and bonrchi
articulating , coastal and nasal cartilage
circoid thyroid and arytenoid cartilages of larynx

44
Q

where is elastic found

A

pinna of the ear, epiglottis and autiodry tube

45
Q

where is fibrocartilage found

A

intervertebral disc , pubic symphysis, intra articular disc of the sternoclvaicular joint and intra particular disc of the tmd joint
