Why does the thickness of hyaline cartilage have a negative affect?
It depends on which type of joint it is associated with. Th three classifications of joints are; synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. They are all separated by hyaline cartilage, from less than paper thick to almost an inch (25mm) in the knees. So the thickness has a natural purpose of protection, having a loss of the proper thickness leads to the condition known as osteoarthritis.
How is the epiphysis forced farther from the shaft during the growth of a long bone?
The chondrocytes of the epiphyseal cartilage enlarge and divide, which increases the thickness of the cartilage. On the shaft side, the chondrocytes become ossified, and "chase" the expanding epiphyseal cartilage away from the shaft.
If you have thick cartilage in your nose will it hurt when you get it pierced?
Nose piercings generally hurt regardless of the thickness of the cartilage, due to the fact the tear ducts are connected to the nose too. But it may take a bit longer, than someone who has thin cartilage, since the piercer has to push through a few more layers.
Increased thickness of hyaline cartilage?
Exercise, squats, a mile run, these are great to increase the blood flow to your cartilage and thicken it. :) It can get pretty thick! :) Also good to take vitamin c and amino acid L-lysine. :) Good luck!
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.
