bone
This is 65% of the ground substance within bone, contributing to its hardness
what are hydroxyapatite crystals?
This type of CT proper allows for recoil of tissue after stretching
what is elastic connective tissue?
These are the three types of cartilage
what are hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage
This tissue type is composed of fibers, cells, and ground substance
what is all CT?
This bone is arranged as small interconnected spikes called trabeculae
These three fiber types are found in CT proper
what are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers?
These small fluid-filled spaces hold chondrocytes within the cartilage plate
what are lacunae?
What kinds of tension can dense regular CT withstand
What is tension in one direction
The histology of this bone is many concentric rings of matrix organized around a central canal that contains nerve, vein, and arterys
what is compact bone?
This tissue involves a loose arrangement of fibers around fat cells and serves as energy source, insulation, and padding between organs
what is adipose tissue?
This type of CT proper surrounds cartilage and contains blood vessels
what is perichondrium?
This condition results from a imbalance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity
what is osteoporosis?
This connective tissue surrounds all long bones except at the joint surfaces
what is periosteum?
This strong connective tissue makes up tendons and ligaments in the body
what is dense regular connective tissue?
This cartilage resists compression, providing support and cushion at places like synovial joints and rib attachments
what is hyaline cartilage?
These cells break down bone to release calcium and other matrix products into the blood
what are osteoclasts?
what is endochondral ossification?
This has a extracellular matrix with dense collagen fibers running in many different directions
what is dense irregular connective tissue
Cartilage growth involving division of mature chondrocytes to expand the cartilage plate from within
what is interstitial growth?
These cells produce proteins for building of extracellular matrix and ground substance in CT proper
what are fibroblasts
