    Study Notes

    Cartilage Types

    • Elastic cartilage is similar to hyaline cartilage but contains elastic fibers, allowing for greater flexibility.
    • Fibrocartilage is found in the body's weight-bearing joints, such as the intervertebral discs, and in areas that require great strength and durability.

    Cartilage Growth

    • There are two types of growth of cartilage: interstitial growth, which occurs when new cells grow within the existing cartilage, and appositional growth, which occurs when new cells are added to the outer surface of the cartilage.

    Bone Classifications

    • There are two classifications of bones in the body: compact bones, which are dense and compact, and cancellous bones, which are porous and lightweight.

    Vitamins for Bone Growth

    • Vitamins D, C, and K are necessary for bone growth and remodeling, as they facilitate the absorption of calcium and the formation of bone tissue.
