Study Notes
Types of Cartilage
- Elastic cartilage, characterized by the presence of elastin in its matrix, provides flexibility and elasticity.
- Hyaline cartilage is the main tissue in the development of the fetal skeleton and most growing bones.
- Articular cartilage provides a low-friction surface and participates in synovial joints.
- Hyaline cartilage is characterized by the presence of collagen molecules (mainly type II), proteoglycan aggregates, and multi-adhesive glycoproteins in its matrix.
Cartilage Location and Function
- Elastic cartilage is found in the external ear and middle ear.
Bone Development and Function
- Osteoprogenitor cells give rise to osteoblasts.
- The major structural component of bone matrix is hydroxyapatite.
- The role of bone in the body includes supporting the body, protecting internal organs, and facilitating movement.
Bone Cells and Function
- Osteoclasts reabsorb bone matrix during bone formation and remodeling.
- Bone lining cells regulate the flow of ions and waste products in and out of the bone.
