Is mature cartilage vascular?
No
Does articular cartilage have a perichondrium?
No
Hyaline Cartilage
Flexible support structure. Collagen and elastic fibers. Most common type with clear, glassy appearance. No pericardium
Fibrocartilage
Numerous, coarse, readily available proteins. Arranged as irregular bundles between large chondrocytes. Little ground structure. Resists compression– good shock absorption
Elastic Cartilage
Flexible, springy cartilage. Numerous, densely packed elastic fibers within ECM. Chondrocytes closely packed by ground substance
Another name for bone tissue
Osseous connective tissue
Is Bone tissue vascular?
yes
Mature Bone cells are called
Osteocytes
Osteocytes are housed in the
lacunae
Compact bone
made of neurovascular canals. Uniform. Formed in osteons
Spongy bone
interior of bone that is lightweight but strong
Functions of bone
Support/Protection. As Levers. Hemopoiesis (process of blood cell production). Storage of mineral and energy reserves
What repeating structural unit is compact bone organized into?
Latticework
Minerals stored within bone tissue?
Calcium and phosphorous (helps with bone building)
Hematopoiteic
Type of reticular CT that makes blood cells
4 classifications of bones, description, and example
Long bone: greater length than width–femur. Short: length nearly equal to width–patella. Flat: thin surfaces that are slightly curved for good surface area–Scapulae. Irregular: Elaborate and complex shape. Ossa coxa.
Diaphysis
Long bone shaft that provides leverage and major weight support
Medullary cavity
Hollow cylindrical within diaphysis for bone marrow
Epiphysis
Expanded, knobby region at the ends of long bone (proximal and distal)
Articular cartilage
Cover of the joint surface of an epiphysis. Hyaline. Reduces friction and absorbs some shock for joints
Epiphysial plate
Bone widens and transforms from diaphysis and epiphysis. Layer of hyaline allows for length growth
Epiphysial line
Thin, defined area of compact bone
Periosteum
Tough sheath covering of the outer surface of bone
Periforating ribers
Periosteum anchored here. Runs perpendicular ot diaphysis
