Tissues: Connective

  1. Composition of cartilage
    • Chondrocytes reside in lacunae within a matrix of mucopolysaccharides and fibers
    • Perichondrium – CT covering
  2. Cartilage 
    vascular or no?
    • •Avascular – diffusion
    • of nutrients / gases through the matrix
  3. Cartilage
    Function and Type
    • Functions: form and protection
    • Types:
    • Hyaline 
    • Elastic
    • Fibrocartilage
    • Calcified
  4. bone function
    support, protection, movement, form
  5. Bone composition
    • Cells:  osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts
    • Matrix:  amorphorous ground substance and fibers (mostly collagenous) and hydroxyapatite
    • Canaliculi running through matrix
    • Periosteum:  CT covering
  6. Bone location
    vascualr or no
    Types
    • Location:  skeleton
    • Very vascular
    • Types:  Spongy or Cancellous and Compact
  7. Blood (Vascular Tissue)
    Fucntion
    Functions:  transport of materials, temperature regulation, defense
  8. Blood (Vascular Tissue)
