What else can I help you with?
Is blood found in cartilage?
Bone contains capillaries but cartilage does not.
Do Cartilage cells multiply on the epiphysis or diaphysis side of the epiphyseal plate?
Epiphysis
What don't belong epiphysis surface articular cartilage periosteum hyaline cartilage?
Periosteum is the term that doesn't belong. The surface of the epiphysis, articular cartilage, and hyaline cartilage are all cartilaginous tissue.
Why is bone vascular but cartilage avascular?
cartilage has no blood supply.
What is found on the outer surface of the epiphysis?
The outer surface of the epiphysis is covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage known as articular cartilage. This cartilage helps cushion the joint and allows for smooth movement of the bones in the joint.
Why is articular cartilage only found at the epiphysis?
Articular cartilage is found at the epiphysis because it provides a smooth surface for articulation within joints. It helps to reduce friction and allows for smooth movement between bones at the joint. The articular cartilage at the epiphysis is well-suited for weight-bearing and repetitive movements.
What is more vascular cartilage or dense connective?
Dense connective tissue. Cartilage is with out blood supply.
What is at the end of bones?
In the epiphysis, or end of the bone, is spongy bone which contains red bone marrow. On the external part of the epiphysis is articular or hyaline cartilage.
Why do bone injuries heal much more rapidly than injuries to cartilage?
Because of the lack of blood supply to cartilage, (a new technique to hasten healing of injuries is to introduce fresh blood flow into the area) whereas the marrow in bones actually produce red blood cells, and bones are actually a honeycomb like structure, and they are constantly being taken apart, and rebuilt, microscopic bit by bit.
What type of tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces friction in the joints?
Articular cartilage
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.
Is cartilage highly vascularized?
No, cartilage is not highly vascularized. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels. This lack of blood supply is important for understanding its low regenerative capacity.
