What are the functions of the perichondrium?
Resists outward expansion, contains no blood vessels for nutrient delivery
What cartilage is found at joints?
Articular cartilage (hyaline)
What cartilage is found at the ribs?
Costal cartilage (hyaline)
What is appositional growth?
when the new matrix is laid down ON surface of cartilage
What is interstitial growth?
Chondrocytes in lacunae divide and secrete new matric = cartilage expands from WITHIN
Support in reference to bones
bones provide support for body and soft organs
Protection in reference to bones
Muscles use bones as levers
Mineral storage in reference to bones
Bones store calcium and phosophate
Blood cell formation in reference to bones

Axial skeleton =
skull, vertebral column, rib cage
Appendicular skeleton =
bones of limbs, girdles attaching limbs to axial skeleton
Compact bone
dense, hard outer layer
Spongy bone
light, porous inner layer
Is made of trabeculae…
Spongy bone
What fills the space between trabeculae?
Bone marrow
What has osteons as its structural unit?
Compact bone
Diaphysis (LB) =
tubular shaft forming long axis
Medullary Cavity (LB) =
(is surrounded by diaphysis) contains bone marrow
Articular cartilage (LB) =
Covers ends of bones where bones meet to form joints
Epiphyses (LB) =
Bone ends (covered with articular cartilage)
Periosteum (LB) =
Fibrous membrane, covers outer bone surface
Endosteum (LB) =
Delicate membrane, covers internal bone surfaces
What is the function of red marrow?
Site of cell production
