Question Answer
Types of cartilage Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage
Most abundant type of cartilage; has an abundant “glassy” matrix; “archetype” Hyaline cartilage
This type of cartilage is found where resilience and springiness are needed Elastic cartilage
This type of cartilage has limited distribution and can withstand strong tensile forces Fibrocartilage
2 types of cartilage cells Chondroblasts and chondrocytes
This type of cartilage cell is found in growing cartilage and actively makes the matrix of cartilage Chondroblasts
This type of cartilage cell lives within a lacuna Chondrocyte
Fibrous connective tissue that surrounds/covers hyaline and elastic cartilage Perichondrium
2 layers of the perichondrium Outer fibrous layer and inner cellular layer
Inner cellular layer of perichondrium
Outer fibrous layer if the perichondrium
2 co-existing ways that cartilage grows Appositional and interstitial
This growth occurs at the edges of cartilaginous structures Appositional growth
This type of growth happens within the cartilage matrix. Existing chondrocytes undergo several mitotic divisions Interstitial growth
What structure is circled in black? Growth or epiphyseal plate
What are isogenous groups? Groups of lacunae (houses of the chondrocytes)
T/F Fibrocartilage has a perichondrium cover False
T/F Cartilage has vascular, so it has high repair capability False
