What are the three kind of cartilage
|
1. Hyaline cartilage: most prevalent, has a glossy look.
2. Elastic cartilage: more flexible and less universal 3. Fibrocartilage: cartilage of tendons which is most susceptible to tear |
|
|
What is cartilage
|
Cartilage is a connective tissue. The intercellular substance determines the character of the cartilage
|
|
|
What are characterstics of cartilage
|
cartilage has no capillaries.
|
|
|
What are cartilage cells
|
Cartilage cells are chondroblasts which form the cells and ics of cartilage. Cartilage cells are also chondrocytes which maintain the ics
|
|
|
Where is cartilage developed embryonically
|
It is developed in the mesenchyme of the middle, mesodermal, layer by the differentiation of stem mesenchumal cells
|
|
|
What is the pericondrium
|
It is a dense connective tissue membrane covering cartilaginous surfaces.
|
|
|
How does the cartilage grow
|
The growth of the cartilage is by appositional growth. Interstitial growth is the only kind of growth possible with articular cartilage
|
|
|
What is osteoarthritis
|
It is when the maintenance function of the condrocytes of articular cartilage is altered. Very painful
|
|
|
How is cartilage repaired
|
it is repaired by dense connective tissue
|
|
|
Can Hyaline cartilage undergo calcification
|
Yes by the deposition of calcium phosphate in the ics
|
|
|
How is Elastic fiber different than hyaline fiber
|
Elastic fibers has an addition of a branching elastivc fiber network within the ics
|
|
|
How is fibrocartilage formed
|
by the formation of slender islands of hyaline cartilage between the tendon fibers
