bones of the upper and lower limbs, shoulder, and hip.   Appendicular skeleton  
🗑
Contains no blood vessels or nervesSurrounded by the perichondrium (dense irregular connective tissue) that resists outward expansion   Skeletal Cartilages  
🗑
Provides support, flexibility, and resilienceIs the most abundant skeletal cartilage   Hyaline Cartilage  
🗑
Found in the external ear and the epiglottis   Elastic Cartilage  
🗑
Highly compressed with great tensile strengthContains collagen fibers.Found in menisci of the knee and in intervertebral discs   Fibrocartilage  
🗑
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage. Reduces friction at joints   Articular cartilage  
🗑
Lines internal surfaces of bone. Surrounds medullary cavity   Endosteum  
🗑
Dense irregular connective tissue   Periosteum  
🗑
unspecialized stem cells   Osteogenic cells  
🗑
synthesize & secrete collagen   Osteoblasts  
🗑
mature bone cells   Osteocytes  
🗑
digest bone matrix   Osteoclasts  
🗑
weight-bearing, column-like matrix tubes composed mainly of collagen   Lamella  
🗑
connecting blood and nerve supply of the periosteum to that of the Haversian canal   Perforating or Volkmanns canals  
🗑
small cavities containing osteocytes   Lacunae  
🗑
