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.
