Chondroitin Sulfates

Bind with ground substance proteins to form proteoglycans

4
New cards

Chondrocytes

Cartilage cells inside matrix

5
New cards

Lacunae

Chambers that house chondrocytes

6
New cards

Perichondrium

A layer of dense irregular connective tissue that encapsulates the cartilage

7
New cards

Hyaline Cartilage

Most common type; found in rib cage and nose 

8
New cards

Articular Cartilage

Has the structure of hyaline cartilage, but no perichondrium; found at joint articulations to help cushion joints and enable free movement

9
New cards

Fibrocartilage

Tough, thick bundles of collagen fibers dispersed through its matrix in places with heavy pressure and stretch; menisci in the knee joint and intervertebral discs

10
New cards

Elastic Cartilage

Contains elastic fibers, collagen, and proteoglycans; gives rigid support and elasticity
