Study Notes
Cartilage
- Cartilage is a specialized connective tissue, providing support, flexibility, and cushioning in various body parts
- Costal cartilage is a type of hyaline cartilage, found in the ribs
- Cartilage matrix consistency varies; hyaline cartilage is glassy, elastic cartilage is yellowish, fibrocartilage is firm
- Chondrocytes are cells within lacunae; chondroblasts produce the matrix
- Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type, present in the fetal skeleton, joints and trachea
- Elastic cartilage is found in the external ear and eustachian tube; it has elastic fibers
- Fibrocartilage, rich in collagen fibers, is found in intervertebral discs
- Cartilage is avascular, relying on diffusion for nutrient and waste transport
- Perichondrium is a dense connective tissue surrounding cartilage, aiding in nutrient delivery and growth
- Chondrocytes receive nutrients via diffusion through the matrix
- Cartilage growth occurs through appositional (outside) and interstitial (inside) methods
- The mature cells of cartilage are chondrocytes
Additional Information
- The matrix of hyaline cartilage is basophilic due to the presence of chondroitin sulfate
- Hyaline cartilage is glassy in appearance
- Cells within lacuna are called chondrocytes
- Chondrocytes receive nutrient via diffusion through matrix because cartilage is avascular
- Cartilage forms the epiglottis, the articular surface of bones, symphysis pubis and temporomandibular joint
