Cartilage contains a ​ (a)   ground substance that causes a rigid, rubber-like ​ (b)   . ​ (c)   are immature cartilage cells that produce new matrix until skeleton stops growth. ​ (d)   are mature cartilage cells found in ​ (e)   (cavities).

Organize these types of cartilage

Groups:

(a) Hyaline Cartilage

,

(b) Elastic Cartilage

,

(c) Fibrocartilage

• Matrix contains many collagen fibers, but has a glassy appearance

• Located in the tip of the nose

• Located in the intervertebral disks

• Most common type of cartilage in the human body

• Located in the external ear and epiglottis

• Matrix contains rows of chondrocytes alternating with rows of thick collagen

• Located in the trachea

• 
• 
• Strong and very flexible

• 
• Resists compression & tension

• Located in the costal cartilage (ribs to sternum)

• Matrix contains many elastic fibers

• 
• Firm with slight flexibility

• Located in the cartilage of the knee

• Located in areas that undergo heavy pressure

• Located in the articular cartilage at the ends of bones

Blood is contained within ​ (a)   . It is the only ​ (b)   body tissue. It is an ​ (c)   type of connective tissue because it does not connect things. The matrix is​ (d)   with no fibers. It contains ​ (e)   types of cells.

• blood vessels
• liquid
• atypical
• plasma
• three
• four

Bone is also known as​ (a)   tissue. It is composed of units called ​ (b)   . An osteon has a ​ (c)   canal that contains a blood vessel and ​ (d)   , which are layers of bone matrix. There are ​ (e)   types: compact and spongy bone.

• osseous
• osteons
• central
• lamellae
• two
• three

Match the following

Groups:

(a) Bone Matrix

,

(b) Bone Functions

,

(c) Compact Bone

,

(d) Spongy Bone

• Rigid

• Has spaces filled with marrow

• Stores calcium

• Outer layer of bone

• Produces blood cells

• Support & protection

• Inside the ends of bone

• Rigid due to abundant collagen fibers and calcium salts

What are osteoblasts?

• Osteoblasts are immature bone-forming cells.

• Osteoblasts are muscle cells.
• Osteoblasts are fat-storing cells.
• Osteoblasts are nerve cells.
