Can you use vertebrae in a sentence?
Within the spinal column, each vertebra is an irregular bone with a complex structure comprised of bone and hyaline cartilage. So several vertebrae may share certain characteristics. Vertebrae (OR VERTEBRAS) is the plural form of vertebra.
What type of cells form cartilage?
Hyaline Cartilage is made up of collagen fibers and chondrocytes in lacuna which promote the formation of the matrix. Hyaline Cartilage is the most abundant type of connective tissue that is found in the body.
What type of cartilage lines the larynx?
Hyaline cartilage.These are marked (under microscope of HE stain) by their translucent appearance with rounded cells (sometimes they also appear to be shaped like one of those Japanese triangular rice balls).
Covers long bone except at its joint surfaces?
Cartalige
Where are the trochlea and capitulum located?
They form the articular part of the lower end of the humerus bone, both are covered by hyaline cartilage.
What are the joints between the vertebrae of the backbone?
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
What are the main events of endochondral ossification?
Meschyme (embryonic connective tissue) develops into a body of hyaline cartilage, covered with fibrous perichondrium, in the location of a future bone. For time, the perichondrium produces chondrocytes and the cartilage model growth in thickness.
Where is cartilage found in your bodies?
It is in your bones as a child in the form of growth plates and your outside ear and nose are made of carilage.
Why the bone is not smooth?
The ends of some bones are smooth because they form joints. These are referred to as freely moving joints and they are the most common ones in your body. The ends of the bones are smooth because they are covered in hyaline cartilage, which is like soft marble. Inside the joint capsule that contains the ends of the bones with the hyaline cartilage there is a lubricant called synovial fluid that helps the joint move with minimal amount of friction.
What is the structure of cartilage tissue?
cartilage consists of a dense fibrous tissue collagen fibre embedded in chondroitin substance. A membrane of irregular connective tissue covers most of the cartilages.there are different types of cartilages hyaline, elastic,fibrous based on composition.
What happens to cartlage as a person grows?
if by cartlage, you actually mean "CARTILAGE" as in the tissue in the human body,then the answer to that is as a person grows, cartilage gradually disappears in long bones (meaning the bones of your arms and legs) because as a baby, your whole bone is actually cartilage, but bone forming cells called osteocytes begin to grow and form bone tissue and gradually it grows in the place of cartilage, so cartilage disappears in those areas. However, you still have different types of cartilage in different areas of your body that just remain there like you have hyaline cartilage in your ribs.Hope that answer satisfies you !
How many different regions are found on the spinal column?
The spine, also known as the vertebral column or spinal column, is a column of 26 bones in an adult body – 24 separate vertebrae interspaced with cartilage plus the sacrum. The last is the coccyx which is not interspaced with cartilage. The spinal column is divided into 5 different areas grouped into seven cervical vertebrae in the neck, twelve thoracic vertebrae (corresponding to each pair of ribs), five sacral vertebrae which are fused together to form one bone called the sacrum.
