Front Back
3 Types of Cartilage
1 Hyalines2 Elastics3 Fibrocartilages
Hyaline Cartilage
Most abundant skeletal cartilages. Grant support w/ flexability and resiliance. Appears glassy when freshly exposed.
4 hyaline cartilages
1 articular2 costal3 respiratory4 nasal
Hyaline Cartilage Locations
1 articular- one the ends of most bones at movable joints. 2 costal- ribs and sternum. 3 respiratory- larynx (voicebox) and other respiratory -passages. 4 nasal- supports external nose.
Elastic Cartilage Locations
Ears and epiglotis
Perichondrium
Dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the avascular cartilage
Appositional Growth
"growth from outside" cartilage forming cells in surrounding perichondrium secrete new matrix against external face of existing tissue
Interstitial Growth
"growth from inside" lacunae bound chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, expanding the cartilage from within
Two Classifications of Bone
Axial and appendicular
Axial Skeleton
Skull vertabral column and rib cage
Appendicular Skeleton
Limbs and the girdles (hips shoulder blade)
Mendibular cavity (yello marrow cavity)
Along center of longb bones
Trocanter
Only on femur
2 organic compounds of ground substance
