1
Consistency of ECM of cartilage
gel-like
2
a type of supportive CT which Bear Mechanical Stress without permanent distortion
cartilage
3
components of cartilage
chondrocytes and ECM
4
the chondrocytes of cartilage are located in a
lacuna
5
a component of cartilage responsible for the synthesis and excretion of ECM materials
chondrocytes
6
nourishment of cartilage is through
diffusion
7
cartilage is vascular or avascular
avascular
8
a dense irregular CT w/c surrounds the cartilage
vascular; has nerves and lymphatic vessels
perichondrium
9
perichondrium is only present in
hyaline and elastic cartilage
10
most common and most studied cartilage
hyaline
11
glassy and transparent/translucent cartilage
hyaline
12
bluish white and transluscent cartilage
hyaline
13
type of cartilage that serves as a temporary skeleton of the bone
hyaline
14
location of hyaline cartilage
Location: trachea, larynx, bronchi, anterior ends of ribs,
15
Function of hyaline
provides smooth surface for movement of joints,
flexibility and support
16
cartilage which Contains elastic fibers
Function = gives support, maintains shape, allows flexibility
elastic cartilage
17
cartilage Yellowish color when unstained
elastic cartilage
18
location of elastic cartilage
Found in external ear, auditory tubes, epiglottis.
19
Function of elastic cartilage
gives support, maintains shape, allows flexibility
20
type of cartilage Intermediate between Dense CT and Hyaline CT
fibrocartilage
21
type of cartilage
contains bundles of collagen in the matrix that are usually more visible under microscopy
fibrocartilage
22
location of fibrocartilage
Found in the pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, and attachments of certain ligaments.
23
Function of fibrocartilage
support and fusion, and absorbs shocks.
24
cartilage that Do not possess distinct perichondrium
fibrocartilage
25
major component of intervertebral disks
Annulus fibrosus (Type I collagen)
Nucleus Pulposus (Hyaluronic acid)
26
type of supportive CT
Main constituent of the adult skeleton (206)
Mineralized Tissue
OSSEOUS TISSUE
27
Functions of osseous tissue:
>Support soft tissues and provides attachment
>Protects internal organs
>Stores minerals
>Hematopoiesis
28
component of osseous tissue responsible for tenacity,
elasticity, resilience
organic or living components
29
component of osseous tissue responsible for hardness and rigidity
Inorganic (non- living) components
