The articular surfaces of the TM joint ARE covered in hyaline cartliage. It's the disc that resides in between the mandibular condyle and temporal eminence that is made of fibrocartilage. Fibrocartilage gives the disc a degree of resiliency and ability to adapt and remodel. -James P. Boyd, DDS http://www.DrJimBoyd.com

Are the articulating ends of bones in a synovial joint covered by a synovial membrane?
No, the articulating ends of bones in a synovial joint are not covered by a synovial membrane. Instead, they are covered by articular cartilage, which provides a smooth surface for movement and helps absorb shock. The synovial membrane lines the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage.
Is the snout of a echidna made out of bone?
No, the snout of an echidna is not made of bone. Instead, it is composed of cartilage and is covered with skin. The snout is flexible and allows the echidna to probe into the ground for insects and other food sources. This adaptation is crucial for their foraging behavior.
Do hyaline casts form as a result of increased urine flow?
Hyaline casts can form in urine under various conditions, but they are not specifically a direct result of increased urine flow. Instead, they typically indicate concentrated urine or the presence of certain renal conditions. Hyaline casts are often associated with dehydration, exercise, or mild renal stress, but an increase in urine flow may dilute urine and potentially reduce cast formation. Thus, while increased urine flow does not directly lead to hyaline casts, it may influence their presence indirectly.
Might a shark be an animal that carts around cartilage?
Yes. A shark does carry around cartilage. Shark cartilage is a dietary powder made from the dried cartilage of a living being fully grown shark of any kind. :)
What is the flexible connective tissue found in shark is?
The flexible connective tissue found in sharks is called cartilage. Cartilage provides support and structure to the shark's body, while also allowing for flexibility and movement. This tissue is lighter and more flexible than bone, making it well-suited for aquatic environments.
Which location we do not see hyaline cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage normal covers the articular surfaces of bones in typical synovial joints and primary cartilaginous joints. Certail joints do not have hyaline cartilage covering the bony elements. These include: 1. Fibrous Joints - skull sutures, gymphosis (teeth) and interosseus joints (radius and ulna shafts) 2. Atypical Synovial Joints (these have fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage covering the bones). These include the Temporomandibular (TMJ), Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ), Sternoclavicular Joint, and 2nd to 7th Sternocostal Joints.
What is the difference between syndesmosis and symphysis?
A symphysis and a syndesmoses are both types of non-synovial joints in the body. A Syndesmoses is a dense fibrous tissue joint, which is completely immobile (like the joints in the skull before they become sutures, the inferior tibiofibular joint, or the tooth filling in a tooth socket.) A symphyses is a joint where the opposing surfaces of bone are covered in hyaline cartilage but instead of having synovial fluid between then there is a plate of fibrocartilage. (this is like the pubic symphyses, intervertebral discs, joint between sternum an dmanubrium) You can compare these two non-synovial joints with a third, which is a synchondrosis, made completely of hyaline cartilage, like the cartilage that connects the 1st rib with the sternum.
Do the airways opening along the tertiary bronchus contain cartilage?
No, the airways opening along the tertiary bronchus do not contain cartilage. The tertiary bronchus branches into smaller bronchi, called bronchioles, which are lined with smooth muscle instead of cartilage. This allows for increased flexibility and control over airway diameter.
Do the bronchioles have cartilage support?
No, bronchioles do not have cartilage support. They are small airways in the respiratory system that lack the cartilage rings present in larger airways such as bronchi. Instead, bronchioles are supported by smooth muscle.
What do sharks have instead of a bone?
cartlige
Does an eagle has a backbone?
no they do not they are a cartilage fish meaning they have cartilage instead of bones.
Why is cartilage hard on the nose but soft in the ear?
because its a special kind of cartilage called elasto cartilage instead of the regular fibriocartilage found near bones
Is a shark an iinvertebreate?
Yes, because they have cartilage instead of bone.
What is our ear made of?
Cartilage, which is a type of connective tissue in the body. It is made of cells called chondrocytes embedded in a matrix, strengthened with fibers of collagen and sometimes elastin, depending on the type. There are three different types: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage. This tissue serves to provide structure and support to the body's other tissues without being as hard or rigid as bone. It can also provide a cushioning effect in joints.This type of tissue is avascular, meaning that it is not supplied by blood vessels; instead, nutrients diffuse through the matrix. Cartilage is usually flexible, again depending on the type. Some of the bodily structures that include it are the ears, nose, ribcage, and intervertebral discs.Hyaline cartilage makes up the majority of that found in the human body. It lines the bones in joints, helping them to articulate smoothly. This type contains mostly type II collagen fibers.Elastic cartilage is more flexible than the other types because of the elastin fibers it contains. It is found in the outer ear, the larynx, and the Eustachian tubes, for example. This type provides the perfect balance of structure and flexibility and helps keep tubular structures open.
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 Sharks and rays are examples of what kind of fishes members of the class Chondrichthyes?
They have cartilage instead of bones for a skeleton. Chondo- means cartilage.
What happens if a persons skeleton was bone instead of cartilage at birth?
PIE!
