Question
Answer
hyaline cartilage - structure   structure - glassy-appearing matrix; lacunae house chondrocytes; tissue usually covered by perichondrium  
🗑
fibrocartilage - structure   structure - readily visible, parallel collagen fibers in matrix; lacunae house chondrocytes; no perichondrium  
🗑
elastic cartilage - structure   structure - contains abundant elastic fibers; elastic fibers form weblike mesh around lacunae; perichondrium present  
🗑
hyaline cartilage - function   function - smooth surface for movement at joints; model for bone growth; supports soft tissue  
🗑
fibrocartilage - function   function - resists compression; absorbs shock in some joints  
🗑
elastic cartilage - function   function - maintains structure and shape while permitting extensive flexibility  
🗑
hyaline cartilage - location   location - most of fetal skeleton; covers articular ends of long bones; costal cartilage; larynx, trachea, nose  
🗑
fibrocartilage - location   location - intervertrebral discs; pubic symphysis; menisci of knee joints  
🗑
elastic cartilage - location   location - external ear, epiglottis of larynx  
🗑
compact bone - structure   structure - calcified matrix arranged in osteons (concentric lamellae arranged around a central canal containing blood vessels)  
🗑
spongy bone - structure   structure - lacks organization of compact bone; contains macroscopic spaces; arranged in a meshwork pattern  
🗑
compact bone - function   function - supports soft structures; protects vital organs; provides levers for movement; stores calcium and phosphorus  
🗑
spongy bone - function   function - supports soft structures; protects vital organs; provides levers for movement; stores calcium and phosphorus; site of hemopoiesis  
🗑
compact bone - location   location - bones of body
