What else can I help you with?
The fibrous tissue that covers cartilage is called?
The fibrous tissue that covers cartilage is called the perichondrium. It provides support and nutrients to the cartilage.
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.
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?
True. Cartilage matrix is avascular and has a high water content, allowing nutrients to diffuse quickly. In contrast, bone matrix is solid and less permeable, so nutrients diffuse less efficiently through it.
Articular cartilage receives oxygen and nutrients from?
Surrounding synovial fluid
The fibrous tissue that covers cartilage is called?

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.
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.
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.
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.
Nutrients diffuse quickly through cartilage matrix but very poorly through solid bone matrix true or false?
True. Cartilage matrix is avascular and has a high water content, allowing nutrients to diffuse quickly. In contrast, bone matrix is solid and less permeable, so nutrients diffuse less efficiently through it.
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..
Articular cartilage receives oxygen and nutrients from?
Surrounding synovial fluid
