100

This is 65% of the ground substance within bone, contributing to its hardness

what are hydroxyapatite crystals?

100

This type of CT proper allows for recoil of tissue after stretching

what is elastic connective tissue?

100

These are the three types of cartilage

what are hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage

100

This tissue type is composed of fibers, cells, and ground substance

what is all CT?

200

This bone is arranged as small interconnected spikes called trabeculae

what is spongy bone?
200

These three fiber types are found in CT proper

what are collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers?

200

These small fluid-filled spaces hold chondrocytes within the cartilage plate

what are lacunae?

200

What kinds of tension can dense regular CT withstand

What is tension in one direction

300

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?

300

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?

300

This type of CT proper surrounds cartilage and contains blood vessels 

what is perichondrium?

300

This condition results from a imbalance between osteoclast and osteoblast activity

what is osteoporosis?

400

This connective tissue surrounds all long bones except at the joint surfaces

what is periosteum?

400

This strong connective tissue makes up tendons and ligaments in the body

what is dense regular connective tissue?

400

This cartilage resists compression, providing support and cushion at places like synovial joints and rib attachments

what is hyaline cartilage?

400

These cells break down bone to release calcium and other matrix products into the blood

what are osteoclasts?

500
In this mechanism of bone growth, bone is formed on a cartilage model - gradually replacing cartilage and causing length increases

what is endochondral ossification?

500

This has a extracellular matrix with dense collagen fibers running in many different directions

what is dense irregular connective tissue

500

Cartilage growth involving division of mature chondrocytes to expand the cartilage plate from within

what is interstitial growth?

500

These cells produce proteins for building of extracellular matrix and ground substance in CT proper

what are fibroblasts
