Chapter 6 Study Quiz

What is Cartilage?

• Cartilage only found in the trachea

• Growth of bone in the skeletal system

• Semirigid connective tissue, weaker than bone, more flexible and resilient (rough draft for bone formation)

• Cells that build bones

What is the Chondroblasts function?

• Breakdown old bone

• Produce matrix of cartilage

• blood production within bone

• Destroy matrix of cartilage

What are Chondrocytes?

• Cells that produce matrix

• Same type of cell as chondroblasts

• Cells that destroy matrix

• Cells that occupy lacunae, mature cartilage that maintain the matrix healthy

Identify the type of cartilage

• Hyaline Cartilage

• Fibrocartilage

• Elastic Cartilage

Identify type of Cartilage

• Elastic Cartilage

• Hyaline Cartilage

• Fibrocartilage

• other

This type of cartilage is the most flexible, can bounce back to original shape

• Fibrocartialge

• Hyaline Cartilage

• Elastic Cartilage

What is your skeletal system composed of AND what are two functions it performs?

• body system composed of muscles, and cartilage, performs the following critical functions for the human body: supports the body and other stuff

• Only supporting framework

• body system composed of bones, dynamic living tissue, and cartilage, performs the following critical functions for the human body: supports the body. facilitates movement

The small spaces that can be occupied by both mature cartilage cells OR mature bone cells are called

• Lacunae

• Cavities

• hollow spaces

• Lacuna

What is interstitial growth?

• growth in length, chondrocytes within lacunae stimulate to undergo mitosis, two cells end up in one lacunae and become pushed apart, cartilage grows as they secrete matrix

• growth in diameter (along periphery)

What is Appositional Growth?

• growth in length

• growth in diameter (along periphery)
