Hyaline cartialge matrix is highly _________. hydrated
What percentage of the hyaline cartilage matrix weight is water? 60-80%
The perichondrium surrounds what (except at articular surfaces)? hyaline cartilage
How many layers does the perichondrium have and what are they? 2, outer and inner
What is the perichondrium made up of _____ _____ _____ and contains what? dense irregular CT/ nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics
The outer layer of the perichondrium has what? lots of type I collagen fibers and fibroblasts
Describe the inner layer of the perichondrium. more cellular, fibroblasts and mesenchymal cells, it gives rise to chondroblasts
Is there perichondrium on articular cartilage surface? no
How does nutrients get to the chondrocytes? diffusion from synovial fluid
What are isogenous groups? clusters of chondrocytes derived from 1 cell
What is the function of elastic cartilage? flexible support
Where is elastic cartilage located? external ear, walls of ext acoustic meatus, auditory tube, epiglottic/corniculate/ cuneiform laryngeal cartilages
Elastic cartilage is distinguished by ________ in cartilage matrix. elastin
Does elastic cartilage have perichondrium? yes
What is the function of fibrocartilage? Firm support with tensile strength, transition between dense CT and hyaline cartilage
Where can you find fibrocartilage? IV discs, pubic symphysis, discs SC and TMJ, lines tendon grooves, menisci, tendon attachment to bone
What are the two types of cartilage growth? appositional and interstitial
process that forms new cartilage at the surface of existing cartilage is what? Appositional cartialge growth
process that forms new cartilage within the cartilage mass is what? interstitial cartilage growth
What stimulates chondrocyte growth? GH, thyroxine, and testosterone
What slows chondrocyte growth? cortisone, hydrocortisone
When cartilage is damaged, this is usually produced during the repair process. dense CT (scar)
