Support
Protection
Movement
Storage
Blood cell production
W/I Skeletal System Functions: 3 components of Support
Bone -hard/rigid
Cartilage - flexible/strong
Ligaments - bone to bone
W/I Skeletal System Functions: Protection
skull, ribs, sternum, vertebrae
W/I Skeletal System Functions: Movement produced by?
Muscles on Bones via tendons
W/I Skeletal System Functions: Storage by ?
Ca and P -Stored and released as needed.
Fat stored in marrow cavities (can be diff types eg. yellow= fat )
Blood Cell production by?
Red Bone Marrow - gives rise to blood cells and platelets
found in some irregularly shaped bones
Cartilage is vascular or non vascular?
Non- vascular
Bone are Cartilage are both ____ connective tissues
SUPPORTIVE
Resilient means?
you can push on it and it returns to its original shape
Cartilage is made up of (2)
Cartilage cells & matrix (70-85% water, protein, ground substance)
Cartilage has what types of proteins? (3)
Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibrocartilage
Which protein is most closely associated with bone/ is the type of cartilage that made up the embryonic skeletal system?
Hyaline
When bone is being repaired it is first ____?
Cartilage
Elastic cartilage can be found in?
Ear - more flexible
The main component of cartilage between the vertebrae, found in knee joints and other weight supporting areas is ___?
Fibrocartilage - because strongest type
Cartilage has one main cell type called?
Chondrocyte
Chondroblast = ?
immature cells that can secrete matrix (collagen, proteoglycans)
Chondrocyte = ?
A mature cell that maintains tissue
Chondrocytes located in ?
Lacuna
Perichondrium = ?
double layer of Connective TIssue that covers most of cartilage - has nerve and blood supply
Outer layer of Perichondrium contains which type of cells?
Fibroblast cells
Fibroblast cells secrete __?
Collagen
Inner layer of Perichondrium contains which type of cells?
Chondroblasts
What types of cartilage has no perichondrium?
Articular and Fibrocartilage
Appositional Growth is...
when chondroblasts secrete and surround themselves with matrix and once complete becomes a chondrocyte. Growth on OUTSIDE of cartilage tissue. (still underneath fibroblast top layer though)
Interstitial growth is ...
chondrocytes divide and still maintain ability to secrete matrix between the two cells. and row from within. expand from inside out.
