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

∙ 14y agoIn embryogenesis, the skeletal system is derived from the mesoderm germ layer. Chondrification (also known as chondrogenesis) is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chondrocytes and begins secreting the molecules that form the extracellular matrix.

There is now evidence that blood vessel disorders like atherosclerosis found in Heart disease, Diabetes, obesity, and hypertension can impair the blood supply to this bone that lies beneath the cartilage. This can further starve cartilage of its nutrient and oxygen supply. In this way, healthy blood vessels might contribute to healthy joints.

Articular cartilage receives oxygen and nutrients from?
Surrounding synovial fluid
Does cartilage have high vascularization?
Cartilage does not have any vascularization - it gets all its nutrients via diffusion from the surrounding extracellular matrix.
Nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix true or false?
False
Name the specific cartilages in the larynx that forms the Adam's apple?
The cartilage that forms the Adam's apple is the thyroid cartilage.
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 fibrocartilage gets its nutrition?
Hyaline Cartilage and Articular Cartilage get their nutrients through synovial or perichondrium fluid. Fibrocartilage does not have these so it gets nutrients through blood capillaries.
How do you Compare bone to cartilage tissue relative to its resilience speed of regeneration and access to nutrients?
Bone has more resilience, cartilage has faster regeneration, and cartilage is avascular.
Articular cartilage receives oxygen and nutrients from?
Surrounding synovial fluid
Cartilage has a rich capillary supply true or false?
False, cartilage gets most of its nutrients via diffusion of nutrients from synovial fluid. The cells in the fibrous synovial membrane that produce synovial fluid are richly vascularized.
How does cartilage get oxygen as it does not contain capillaries?
It gets oxygen and nutrients through simple diffusion.
Does cartilage have high vascularization?
Cartilage does not have any vascularization - it gets all its nutrients via diffusion from the surrounding extracellular matrix.
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.
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..
Nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix true or false?
False
Do nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix?

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.
Articular cartilage what type of cartilage?
hyaline cartilage A Hyaline cartilage, but lacking perichondrion
