Cartiliage
a semirigid connective tissue that is weaker than bone, but more flexible/resilient.
chloroplasts
cells that produce the matrix of cartilage
chondrocytes and function
chloroplasts once they become encased within the matrix that they produces and secreted. they occupy lacunae and make sure that the cartilage remains healthy.
lacunae
small space, cavity, or depression. occupied by chondrocytes
is mature cartilage vascular or avascular
avascular so nutrients must diffuse thru matrix
three dif types of cartilage
hyalin, elastic, and fibrocartilage
functions of cartilage
supporting tissues
providing gliding surfaces are articulations
providing model for bone formation in embryos
what types of tissues do bones contain
these contain all tissue types
bone connective tissue
primary component of bones. matrix is sturdy and rigid due to calcification
calcification
mineralization. deposition of minerals in the matrix
functions of bone
support and protection
movement
hematopoiesis
storage of mineral and energy reserves
how do bones support and protect
provide structural support/framework for body
protect tissues and organs
how do bones support movement
serve as attachment site for muscles/tissues/organs
act as system of levers that move when muscles contract
hematopoiesis and where does in occur
the process of producing formed elements in the blood. occurs in red bone marrow.
red bone marrow and location
contains stem cells that form blood cells and platelets.
kids: located in some spongy bone and the medullary cavity of most bones of the body
adults: located in spongy bone in only few portions of the axial skeleton like flat bones of skull, vertebra, ribs, sternum, and hip bones. also in primal epiphysis of each humerus and femur
yellow bone marrow
what red marrow turns into when it degenerates. a fatty tissue.
how do bones store mineral and energy reserves
they store more than 90% of bodys calcium and phosphate. when one of those is needed, some bone tissue is broken down and those minerals are released into the blood.
store potential energy in the form of lipids in yellow bone marrow, in the shafts of adult bones
four classes of bone as determined by shape
long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones
long bones and where do they occur
greater length and width than other bone.
elongated cylindrical shaft.
upper limbs(arm, forearm, palm, fingers)
lower limbs(thigh, leg, sole of foot, toes)
short bones and where are they located
length about equals width. external surface covered by compact bone and interior is spongy bone.
carpals, tarsals, sesamoid bones
sesamoid bones
tiny seedshaped bones along the tendons of some muscles. type of short bone. patella is largest sesamoid bone
flat bones and where tehy are
flat, thin surfaces. composed of paralel surfaces of compact bone w layer of internal spngy bone.
provide surfaces for muscle attachment and protect underlying tissue. roof of skull, scapulae, sternum, ribs
irregular bones
complex shaped that dont fit into other categories. compact bone covering internal spongy bone.
vertebrae, coxae, many bones in skull like eithmoid and sphenoid
what parts does a typical long bone contain
DIAPHYSIS
EPIPHYSIS
METAPHYSIS
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE
MEDULLARY CAVITY
ENDOSTEUM
PERIOSTEUM
PERFORATING FIBERS
