What is a difference between bone and cartilage. 1. bones are more flexible than cartilage 2. bones are harder than cartilage 3.bones are larger than cartilage?
Bones are harder than cartilage, which is a firm but flexible connective tissue. Bones are also larger and provide more structural support and protection for the body compared to cartilage. Bones contain bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells, while cartilage does not have this function.
What is the function of cartlidge?
Cartilage acts as a cushion and reduces the friction between the bones and in some cases holds bones together, like rib cartilage. Cartilage is found in between bones, in the nose, ears and intervertebral discs just to name a few.
What is the function of cartilage in a joint?
Cartilage in a joint acts as a cushion and provides a smooth surface for bones to glide over each other, reducing friction and preventing damage to the bones.
What is the substance called that is between bones?
It's called 'bone marrow', and it's function is the manufacturing of haemoglobin. A patient with leukaemia, (cancer of the blood), would geta bone marrow transplant.
What are the differences between bones and cartilage in terms of structure and function?
Bones are hard and rigid structures that provide support and protection for the body, while cartilage is a softer and more flexible connective tissue that cushions joints and helps maintain their shape. Bones are made up of calcium and collagen, giving them strength and durability, while cartilage is made up of collagen and proteoglycans, providing elasticity and shock absorption. Bones also contain bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, while cartilage does not have this function. Overall, bones are more dense and structured, while cartilage is more pliable and resilient.
The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones?
The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones is called articular cartilage. Its main function is to reduce friction between bones during movement and to provide cushioning and shock absorption.
Are lizards bones made ith cartilage?
No. Sharks bones are made of cartilage though.
What is the process when cartilage is replaced by bones?
Ossification the the process that occurs when cartilage is replaced by bones!
What protects the ends of bones from wear and tear?
cartilage protects the bones where they meet.
What is the cushion between two bones?
Cartilage tissue.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in the joint?
You are referring to the articular cartilage. It is a smooth, shiny, white tissue that covers the ends of bones within joints. Its primary function is to reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for movement in the joint.
