What cartilage is the most flexible?
Fibrous cartilage is dense and not very flexible.
What keeps your bones from scratching and bumping against each other when you move?
Cartilage is a dense, flexible tissue that prevents bones from rubbing on each other.
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
What is elastic connective tissue?
Elastic cartilage is found predominately in the external ear and as well as around the epiglottis. Elastic cartilage is similar to hyaline cartilage, but its matrix contains many elastic fibers along with the delicate collagen fibrils. This cartilage is more elastic than hyaline cartilage and better able to tolerate repeated bending. The epiglottis, which bends down to cover the glottis (opening) of the larynx each time we swallow, is made of elastic cartilage, as is the highly bendable cartilage in the outer ear.
Why is cartilage so dense?
Becasue it is!:)
Are sharks bony?
No sharks are not 'bony'. The skeletal makeup of sharks is cartilage. Although cartilage is dense and can be bone-like it is significantly less dense than bone.
Where is dense connective tissue found on the surface of the long bone?
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
What is made of dense regular connective tissue?
A structure composed of dense fibrous (regular) tissue is predominantly bundles of collagenous fibers and is flexible but possesses great tensile strength.
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.
Describe where dense irregular connective tissue is found on the surface of a long bone?
in the cartilage of the long bone. cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the epiphysis.
What is the predominant element in dense connective tissues?
Fibers
Fibroblasts and protein fibers are associated with both?
Dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues
