What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the medium through which nutrients diffuse?
ground substance
How do nutrients get into your blood strem?
they diffuse through the lining of your intestine
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.
The medium through which nutrients and other substances diffuse?
i think its Matrix
How does cartilage get oxygen as it does not contain capillaries?
It gets oxygen and nutrients through simple diffusion.
Why are capillaries the site of material exchange between the cells and blood?
The walls of capillaries are very thin allowing the nutrients of cells to diffuse through them. They facilitate the diffusion of nutrients to the body by passing them through their cell walls.
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.
How does connective tissue obtain nutrients?
Connective tissue obtains nutrients through diffusion from nearby blood vessels. Nutrients diffuse through the blood vessel walls and into the surrounding connective tissue to provide nourishment to the cells within the tissue.
What nourishes the fetus?
Nutrients and other needed materials diffuse from the mother's blood through the placenta which connects the fetus the the uterus lining.
