Skeletal Cartilage
-Contains no blood vessels

-Surrounded by the perichondrium (dense irregular c.t.) that resists outward expansion

-3 Types: hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
-Provides support, flexibility, and resilience

-Is the most abundant skeletal cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage is present in which cartilages?
1. Articular-covers the ends of the long bones

2. Costal-connects the ribs to the sternum

3. Respiratory- makes up larynx, reinforces air passages

4. Nasal-supports the nose
Elastic Cartilage
-Similar to hyaline cartilage but contains elastic fibers
Where is elastic cartilage found?
External ear and the epiglottis
Fibrocartilage
-Highly Compressed with great tensile strength

-Contains collagen fibers
Where is fibrocartilage found?
-Menisci of the knee and in intervertebral disks
Growth of Cartilage
1. Appositional

2. Interstital
Appositional
growth by addition at the periphery of a particular part.

*Growth by the addition of new layers on those previously formed, characteristic of tissues formed of rigid materials.
Interstital
that occurring in the interior of structures already formed.

*an increase in size by hyperplasia or hypertrophy within the interior of a part or structure that is already formed.
Calcification of cartilage occurs..
1. During normal bone growth

2. During old age
2 Classification of bones are:
1. Axial

2. Appendicular
Axial Skeleton
the bones of the body axis, including the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum.
Appendicular Skeleton
the bones of the limbs and supporting thoracic (pectoral) and pelvic girdles.
