Blood Cell Production
What are the three types of cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
Fibrocartilage
Elastic Cartilage
It secretes a matrix which surrounds the chondroblasts
Hyaline Cartilage Chondroblasts
It is the result of the matrix surrounding the chondroblasts, these are rounded cells that occupies a space
Chondrocytes
This is the space where chondrocytes can be found
Lacuna
It contains collagen, which provides strength, and proteoglycans, which make cartilage resilient by trapping water
Matrix
It covers most cartilages with a connective tissue sheath, it has a double layer outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue containing fibroblasts
Perichondrium
These are hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints, it has no perichondrium, blood vessels, or nerves
Articular Cartilage
What are the two types of cartilage growth
Appositional Growth
Interstitial Growth
This type of growth the Chondroblasts in the perichondrium adds new cartilage to the outside edge of the existing cartilage
Appositional Growth
This type of growth the Chondrocytes in the center of the tissue divide and add more matrix between the existing cells
Interstitial Growth
The measurement of a mature bone matrix in terms of Organic compounds
35%
The measurement of a mature bone matrix in terms of Inorganic compounds
65%
What are the organic materials found in the bone matrix
Collagen
Proteoglycans
What are the Inorganic materials found in the bone matrix
Hydroxyapatite
What are the three types of bone cells
Osteoblasts
Osteoclasts
Osteocytes
These are the bone building cells, it produces collagen and proteoglycans, secreted by exocytosis
Osteoblasts
These are high concentrations that reaches a certain level to form hydroxyapatite crystals, secreted by Osteoblasts
Matrix Vesicles
It is the formation of new bone by osteoblasts
Ossification / Osteogenesis
It is the transformation of osteoblasts once it has secreted sufficient bone matrix
Osteocytes
They house the osteocyte cell bodies within the bone matrix
Lacunae
These are the osteocyte cell extensions that are housed in narrow long spaces
Canaliculi
These are the bone destroying cells
Osteoclasts
It is what you call the breakdown of the bone
Bone Reabsorption
