Types of Membranes

Skin, mucous, serous, synovial

Membranes: composition, where is found, fuction

Skin (epidermis, dermis)


Mucous Membrane (epithelial tissue + loose connective tissue; lining the inside of hollow organs that are exposed with the external envir - digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive system)


Serous Membranes (simple epithelial tissue and areolar connective tissue; lines pleural cavity, pericaedial carvity and peritoneal cavity.


Synovial Membranes (synovial epithelial tissue over loose connect tissue); inner lining of joint capsules of most freely moveable joints; secretes synovial fluid that lubrificates and protects the joint)









Chondroblasts

Cartilage forming cells that produce collagen and elastic fibers and cartilage ground substance

Chondrocytes

Mature Cartilage cell



Perichondrium

outer dense connective tissue layer that covers the cartilage

Types of Cartilage

Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage

Hyaline

- Most common


- High concentration of thin collagen fibres


- Located as articular cartilage at the ends of long bones, gives the ends a smooth glassy surface


- Located at the anterior end of ribs to join ribs to sternum


- Articular cartilage does not have a perichnodrium

Elastic Cartilage

- High concentration of elastic fibre, making this cartilage flexible and resilient


- Has an outer covering of perichondrium


- Found in the ear and epiglottis

Fibrocartilage

- Chondrocytes and collagen fibres arranged in parallel rows


- Found in the intervertebral discs between vertebrae and menisci in the knee


- No perichondrium cover


- very good at absorbing shock and resisting compression

Functions of the skeletal system

- Support and Protection


- Lever for muscles


- Hematopoiesis (production of blood cells)


- Storage for Minerals

Osteoblast

Bone forming cell

Osteoclasts

cells that break don bone and help to remodel and reshape bone

Osteocytes

densely packed bone on the external surface; like a shell or collar

Spongy bone

loosely organized bone found in the interior of bone, particularly at the ends

Medullary Cavity

Cavity located in the interior of long bones

Shaft or body of long bone

Epiphysis

either end of a long bone, location of spongy bone

Articular Cartilage

Hyaline Cartilage located on the articular ends of bone

Perisosteum

Connective tissue layer on the outer surface of bone

Fibrous Joints

Gomphosis, Suture, Syndesmosis

Gomphosis

the connection between the root of a tooth and the bone of the maxilla or mandible

Suture

In the initial development of the bones of the skull, there is a fibrous membrane between the bones. The membrane allows for the growth of the skull. Eventually the fibrous membrane ossifies into the skull bones.

Syndemosis

Bones are joined by strong fibrous bands of connective tissue. Found between the radius and the ulna and between the tibia and fibula.

Cartilaginous

Synchondrosis, symphysis

Syncondrosis

bones are joined by hyaline cartilage. It's not permanent, it ends ossifying and becomes bone. Found at the interior end of of the rib, to attach the rib to the sternum

Symphysis

bones are joined by fibrocartilage pad. Found between the vertebrae as an intervertebral disc. Also found between the two pubic bones.

Synovial

The joint is surrounded by a joint capsule.


The capsule is thickened to form Intrinsic ligaments


Some joints will have Extrinsic ligaments; ligaments joining bone but not part of the capsule


The inner lining of the capsule is lined with a synovial membrane; secretes synovial fluid into the joint and acts as a lubricant, shock absorber, and cartilage nourisher.
