What is the correct name of the structure that covers the ends of bones at the joint articulations?
Articular cartilage or hyaline cartilage.
What is artificial cartilage?
Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. It is composed of specialized cells called chondrocytes that produce a large amount of extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibers, abundant ground substance rich in proteoglycan, and elastin fibers. Cartilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, that differ in the relative amounts of these three main components. Cartilage is found in many places in the body including the articular surface of the bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. Its mechanical properties are intermediate between bone and dense connective tissue like tendon. Unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not contain blood vessels. The chondrocytes are fed by diffusion, helped by the pumping action generated by compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage. Thus, compared to other connective tissues, cartilage grows and repairs more slowly. The researchers say they have fabricated the first artificial cartilage tissue capable of simulating the multilayered structure and cellular functions of natural articular cartilage.
Name 6 synovial joints and where they are?
State the types of synovial joints and their locationThe basic structure of a synovial joint consists of a synovial cavity articular cartilage, a fibrous articular capsule, and ligaments. The synovial cavity (also called joint cavity) is the space between two articulating bones. The articular cartilage covers and protects the bone ends. The articular cartilage also acts as a shock absorber. The articular capsule encloses the joint structure. It consists of an outer layer, the fibrous membrane, and an inner lining, the synovial membrane. Ligaments are fibrous thickenings of the articular capsule that help provide stability

What structure doesn't have a blood supply even though it's considered connective tissue?
The types of connective tissue are loose (ex: padding under skin), bone, cartilage, and blood. Cartilage does not directly receive a blood supply. It gets its nutrients from surrounding fluid.
What structure allows bones to grow in thickness?
Bones grow in length by endochondral ossification. It begins with cartilage that acts like a model of the bone that will grow. The bone grows in length and diameter(appositional). the structure that allows this is the epiphyseal cartilage that seperates the epiphysis from the diaphysis. When the bone is fully grown this cartilage will become bone and simply the epiphyseal line.
What are the scientific names of nose cartilage?

What does superior articular facet articulates with what structure?
the inferior articular facet of the vertebra above it
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.
Name the tissue Taf smoothens bone surface at joints describe it's structure with the help of a diagram?
The tissue that smoothens bone surfaces at joints is known as the cartilage, a connective tissue with Chondrocytes which produce the extracellular matrix.
Tissue that provides support for the body?
The tissue that provides support for the body is connective tissue. Connective tissue adds support and also structure to the human body. It contains fibrous strands of protein collagen. Examples of connective tissue include the inner layers of skin, tendons, and cartilage.
Structure of a typical synovial joint?
Characteristics ALWAYS associated with synovial joints: synovial fluid, articular cartilage, articular capsule, synovial membrane, capsular ligaments, blood vessels, and sensory nerves. Characteristics SOMETIMES associated with synovial joints: intraarticular disc or mensici, peripheral labrum, fat pads, and synovial plicae
