Cartilage and membranes END of chapter 4 histology

what are the 3 types of cartilage

hyline, elastic and fibrocartilage

what is the function of hyaline cartilage

reduces friction at joints

where is hyaline cartilage located

covers bone surfaces, synovial joints, larynx and bronchi

what is the function of elastic cartilage

provides support and elasticity

where is elastic cartilage located in

external ear, epiglottis, auditory canal

what is the function of fibrocartilage

prevents bone to bone contact and compression

where is fibrocartilage located at

intervertebral discs and between pubhy

what type of cartilage is connected to osteoarthritis

hyaline

what type of cartilage is connected to back pain

fibrocartilage

what are the 4 types of epithelial membranes

mucous, serous, cutaneous, synovial

what is the function of the mucous membrane

- lubrication, protection, secretion

where is a mucous membrane located

lining of nose, mouth, eye lids, lungs

what is the function of the serous membrane

reduce friction of slippery fluid

where is a serous membrane located

-pleura, pericardium, peritoneum

what is the function of cutaneous memrbane

protection from mechanical and chemical damage and infection

where could the cutaneous mmebrane be located

skin

what is the funciton of the synovial membrane

secretion of synocial fluid to reduce friction between joints and phagocytosis of debris

where is a synovial membrane located at

lines joint cavities

What is superficial fascia?

layer beneath the skin

where is the deep fascia found

surrounds bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels

where is the subserous fascia found

suspend organs withi their cavities

what are compartments

enclose space formed by fascia that contains structures

what is the fucntion of the serous membrane
