What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
Where in the body would you expect to find a perichondrium?
Peri means around and chondrium refers to cartilage. Therefore, perichondrium is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds cartilage.
Name the outer connective tissue layer around cartilage?
Cartilage is enclosed by a layer of dense connective tissue called the perichondrium, except on the articulating surfaces in joint cavities. The perichondrium has two layers-- a fibrous outer layer and an inner layer of cells with chondrogenic (cartilage-forming) potential. The chondrogenic cells undergo division and differentiate into chondroblasts.
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.
What type of connective tissue have lacunae?
Bone and Cartilage are two types of connective tissue in the skeletal system. There is also dense fibrous tissue (in periosteum and joint capsules mainly) Ligaments and cartilage are also two types of connective tissue in the skeletal system.
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
What cartilage is the most flexible?
Fibrous cartilage is dense and not very flexible.
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.
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.
Does elastic cartilage form tendons?
no. tendons and ligaments are formed from dense regular connective tissue, not from any type of cartilage.
What organs belong to skeletal system?
The skeletal system consists of bones and cartilage. Bones and cartilage are formed of skeletal tissue which has dense and mineralized matrix.
What connective tissue takes the longest to heal bone or adipose or dense regular or cartilage or areolar tissue?
Cartilage takes longest to heal because it is avascular.
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.
Why are injured dense connective tissue and cartilage usually slow to heal?
The blood supply to them is slow
What kind of fins do killer whales have?
dorsal fins dense, fibrous connective tissue, with no bones or cartilage
Where in the body would you expect to find a perichondrium?
Peri means around and chondrium refers to cartilage. Therefore, perichondrium is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds cartilage.
