There are blood vessels and lymph vessels in the cartilage. T/F
F
It is the most abundant type of cartilage in the body
Hyaline cartilage
It forms the bulk of the skeleton of the fetus
Hyaline cartilage
It fills the lacunae where it resides
Chondrocytes
This cell is capable of mitosis
Young chondrocytes
It is chondrocytes that stay close together that appear to occupy the same lacuna
Isogenous cells
It consists of an amorphous ground substance where extracellular fibers are embedded
Cartilage Matrix
Water accounts for what % of the weight of the tissue
70% - 80%
What is cartilage made of
Proteoglycans
It is the intercellular substance that surrounds a lacuna
Territorial matrix
It is the area in between the territorial matrix
Interterritorial matrix
It is the layer of territorial matrix
Pericellular capsule
It is a fibronectin like substance that promotes the adherence of collagen fibers to the cell surface of the chondryocytes
Chronodectin
What type of collagen are in the extracellular fiber in hyaline cartilage
Type II collagen
It is more flexible than hyaline cartilage and is yellowish in fresh specimens
Elastic cartilage
Where can the elastic cartilage be found
auricle external acoustic meatus ear auditory tube epiglottis larynx
What type of collagen is elastic cartilage
Type II collagen
