New cards

Cartilage

Contains → abundant extracellular matrix and cells called → chondrocytes

  • Artifactual spaces around the chondrocyte called the → lacuna

  • Three subtypes of cartilage

    • (1) Hyaline Cartilage

    • (2) Elastic Cartilage

    • (3) Fibrocartilage

2
New cards

Hyaline Cartilage

  • Typically has a pale basophilic homogenous extracellular matrix and made of collagen type II fibrils (weakest)

  • Found supporting → walls of trachea as C-shaped rings of hyaline cartilage

New cards

Isogenous Cell Groups

  • Chondrocytes can proliferate, with daughter cells initially occupying the same → lacuna

  • New chondrocytes lay down new matrix, expanding the cartilage within in a process called → interstitial growth forming the clusters (isogenous cell groups)

New cards

Perichondrium

A layer of dense irregular CT surrounding cartilage

  • Divided into:

    • Outer fibrous layer

      • Most of the cells are fibroblasts

    • Inner chondrogenic (cellular) layer

      • Contain progenitor cells that give rise to → new chondrocytes

New cards

Fibrocartilage

  • Occurs at many sites where → tendons and ligaments attach to bone such as he annulus fibrosis of the intervertebral disc

  • Chondrocytes in lacunae separated by ECM containing bundles of → type I collagen fibers (give fibrocartilage extra strength)

  • There is a gradual transition from dense irregular CT to fibrocartilage (at sites of ligament and tendon insertion)

  • Bundles of type I collagen are → eosinophilic and force the chondrocytes to line up in rows between → the collagen bundles

New cards

Elastic Cartilage

  • Found in the epiglottis, external ear, walls of the auditory (pharyngotympanic) tube

  • Extracellular matrix contains → elastic fibers (eosinophilic) giving this cartilage particular resilience

7
New cards

Bone (also features of comapct bone)

  • Mature cells of bone called → osteocytes which occupy space in bone matrix called → lacunae

  • ECM deeply → eosinophilic

  • Lacunae do not line up in → rows

  • ECM of bone is → homogenous

  • Contain central canals, lacunae, osteons, canaliculi (connect osteocytes)

New cards

Osteoblasts

Bone-matrix forming cells On the surface of bone-matrix)

  • Relatively small with basophilic cytoplasm

New cards

Osteoclasts

Resorb bone matrix and are large, multinucleated cells

  • Found in depressions that they have created by restoring the bone matrix called → resorption lacunae

New cards

The Two Types of Bone Tissue

  • (1) Compact Bone

  • (2) Spongy Bone

11
New cards

Spongy Bone (aka cancellous/trabecular)

  • Found inside → irregular bone like the vertebrae, bones of the skull, and at the → ends of long bones (epiphyses)

  • Bone tissue is organized into thin threads called → spicules or trabeculae

    • Between trabeculae, there is → loose CT in young bone and with development, gets replaced with → red bone marrow

New cards

Epiphyseal Plates

Bone growth occurs by the → addition of new bone matrix at the surface of existing matrix as osteoblasts begin to deposit new matrix

  • Growth in length occurs at the → epiphyseal plate

Five Zones: RPHCO

  • Zone of Reserve

  • Zone of Proliferation

  • Zone of Hypertrophy

  • Zone of Calcification

  • Zone of Ossificaiton

New cards

Endochondral Ossification

Growth occurs by a combination of → interstitial growth of cartilage and the replacement of new cartilage with bone
