Question
Answer
For which specific function is cartilage designed?   show
🗑
What are the 3 main components of cartilage?   show
🗑
show A CT layer that surrounds cartilage not attached to bone. It is composed primarily of collagen(ic) fibers and is composed of two layers: the outer fibrous and inner chondrogenic layer.  
🗑
show During cartilage formation.  
🗑
show Fibroblasts/cytes predominate in the fibrous portion; chondrogenic cells in the chondrogenic layer.  
🗑
Where do chondrogenic cells come from and what do they become?   show
🗑
What is the function of a chondroblast?   show
🗑
Identify the type of growth that occurs at the surface of the cartilage?   show
🗑
Appositional growth can be attributed to which cells doing what?   show
🗑
What is a lacunae?   show
🗑
What is a cell nest (isogenous group)?   show
🗑
show A mature chondroblast trapped within it’s own lacuna and now unable to secrete any further serious amounts of cartilaginous matrix.  
🗑
What is territorial matrix and how does it differ from interterritorial matrix?   show
🗑
Which specific fiber types are found in the matrix of cartilage?   show
🗑
show Undifferentiated mesenchymal cells differentiate into precartilage cells that continue differentiation to become chondroblasts that then become chondrocytes that are finally housed in an isogenous group (cells nest).  
🗑
show A- formation of new cartilage at surface of cartilaginous mass, occurs throughout life I- growth due to secretion of matrix by chrondroblasts w/in cartilaginous mass, occurs during embryonic development  
🗑
show Continued differentiation of chondroblasts from chondrogenic cells are primarily responsible for appositional growth, continued division of chondroblasts responsible for interstitial growth Both growths result from accumulation of new matrix  
🗑
show Amorphous ground substance and fibers.  
🗑
What are the three major GAC's of the extracellular matrix of cartilage?   show
🗑
How is a proteoglycan monomer formed?   show
🗑
show A single hyaluronic acid molecule associated with approximately 80 proteoglycan monomers forms hylauronic proteoglycan aggregates that bind to fibrous components of the cartilage matrix by cross-linking proteins.  
🗑
In which forms is water present in this matrix and what is the function of each form?   show
🗑
show Hyaline, elastic and fibrocartilage.  
🗑
show Hyaline- entire fetal skeleton (long bones), comprises the tracheal rings and skeleton of the larynx in the postnatal condition; elastic comprises the epiglottis and pinna of the ear; fibrocartilage comprises the pubic symphysis and intervertebral discs.  
🗑
Which type of collagen fibers is most abundant in hyaline cartilage?   show
🗑
show Yes. Over surfaces that are not attached to bone.  
🗑
Does hyaline cartilage normally calcify? Why might it?   show
🗑
Which fiber type is found in elastic cartilage?   show
🗑
Does elastic cartilage ever calcify?   show
🗑
show Resilience - its ability to spring quickly back into its original shape.  
🗑
Does elastic cartilage have a perichondrium? Is it complete? Why/why not?   show
🗑
show No, it is adherent to bone  
🗑
Which specific fiber type is found in its matrix?   show
🗑
show Resistance - due to the large, thick bundles of the toughest form of collagen (type I).  
🗑
show They are “pushed/squeezed” into rows by the large bundles of parallelly-arranged collagen fibers.  
🗑
Which component of a synovial joint might be composed of fibrocartilage?   show
🗑
show Condensed hyaline cartilage – less ground substance, more fibers per unit area.  
🗑
show Lining the articulating surfaces of bones within an articulation (synovial joint).  
🗑
show Hyaline cartilage  
🗑
show By diffusion from the blood vessels of the marrow space of the underlying bone and by diffusion from the surrounding CT capsule via synovial fluid.  
🗑
show Non-responsive due to lack of sufficient vascularization that results in lack of sufficient nutrients by diffusion to facilitate/promote regeneration.  
🗑
show Osteoarthritis  
🗑
show Good in children due to lots of surrounding vascularization; less common in adults as they age due to decreased surrounding vascularization.  
🗑
show Bone.  
🗑
How would bone replace cartilage? Why would this occur?   show
🗑
show The presence/absence of a synovial cavity.  
🗑
How is a synovial joint classified functionally?   show
🗑
Does it have a joint cavity?   show
🗑
What is used to hold the articulating bones together?   show
🗑
show They assist in guiding the articulating surfaces.  
🗑
Name a joint that contains an intra-articular disc.   show
🗑
What are the regions seen in a section through the synovial membrane?   show
🗑
show Secrete synovial fluid (fibroblast-like Type II or B cells modify fluid from underlying capillaries of the CT layer); and 2. keep the cavity free of debris (the macrophage-like Type I or A cells) phagocytose particulate matter within the synovial cavity.  
🗑
show Areolar (overlies loose CT); fibrous (overlies the dense regular CT capsule, tendons and ligaments); and adipose (surrounded by adipose tissue of the superficial fascia ie. bursae).  
🗑
