What else can I help you with?
Are veins in cartilage?
No, cartilage does not contain veins. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is avascular, meaning it does not have blood vessels like veins. Instead, nutrients and oxygen are diffused through the matrix of the cartilage from nearby blood vessels.
What are the functions of synovial fluid?
It keeps the bones slightly apart, protecting their cartilage coverings from wear and tear It absorbs shocks, again protecting the cartilage It lubricates the joint, helping it to work freely and easily It acts as a filter, letting nutrients reach the cartilage, but blocking the passage of harmful cells and substances
How does cartilage get its nutrients?
What's the route taken by nutrients though a bone, starting with the periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna? The path is: Periosteum, Perforating Canals, Central Canals, Canaliculi, Lancunae, Osteocytes
How does the embryo receives oxygen from the mother?
The embryo receives oxygen via the mother's bloodstream through the placenta. This organ provides a direct connection between the mother and the developing fetus, allowing for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen from the mother's red blood cells diffuses across the placental barrier and enters the fetal blood circulation.
Is the lens of the eye vascular?
No, the lens of the eye is avascular, meaning it does not have blood vessels. It receives nutrients and oxygen through the aqueous humor and the surrounding fluids in the eye.
What supplies the articular cartilage of long bones with oxygen and nutrients?
The articular cartilage of long bones receives oxygen and nutrients from the synovial fluid that surrounds it within the joint cavity. This fluid is rich in nutrients and provides nourishment to the cartilage through diffusion. Additionally, the movement and compression of the joint during physical activity helps to facilitate this process.
How does cartilage get oxygen as it does not contain capillaries?
It gets oxygen and nutrients through simple diffusion.
Explain how the canaliculi allow bone to heal more efficiently than cartilage?
Bone is far more vascular than cartilage, which means the bone receives nutrients/oxygen/other good stuff more and easier than cartilage. Cartilage has almost no blood supply, which makes healing difficult. Hope that helps..
The developing embryo receives nutrients and oxygen from the mother's?
blood
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 does O2 and nutrients deliever to the myocardium by what?
The myocardium receives its oxygen and nutrients from the coronary arteries, which lie on the outside of the heart.
Which area of the body receives oxygen and nutrients through the lingual artery?
Lingual artery
Are veins in cartilage?

How does cartilage survive without any blood vessels running through it?
Nutrients, oxygen, etc. diffuse from nearby blood vessels through the matrix of the cartilage to reach the chondrocytes residing in their lacunae.
Describe how the embryo receives oxygen and nutrients and how it gets rid of wastes?
its gets it all through the umbilical cord
How does cartilage get its nutrients?
What's the route taken by nutrients though a bone, starting with the periosteum and ending with an osteocyte in a lacuna? The path is: Periosteum, Perforating Canals, Central Canals, Canaliculi, Lancunae, Osteocytes
