1
General charactertistics of cartilage
most abundant tissue in the body 
2
Describe what is in the extracellular matrix of cartilage
3
Describe cartilage cells
4
How does cartilage obtain its oxygen/nutrients?
5
Name the three different types of cartilage and what type of collagen are they made of?
6
What are these arrows pointing to?
Chondrocytes in lacunae of Hyaline Cartilage - fed by diffusion, synthesize and maintain matrix, round nucleus, glycogen and lipid in the cytoplasm
7
What are these arrows pointing to?
perichondrium - Dense CT wrapping, contains collagen type 1 fiber, fibroblasts, and blood vessels
8
Classify the tissue 
Simple squamous
9
Identify this structure
Perichondrium
10
Identify what is circled on this slide
An isogenous group of chondrocytes (lat. "equal origin") is a cluster of up to eight chondrocytes found in hyaline and elastic cartilage.
11
Identify what the arrows are pointing at
newly trapped chondrocytes developing from cells in the perichondrium
12
Identify the tissue 
stratified squamous epithelium, NONkeratinized
13
Identify the tissue 
pseudostratified epithelium (with cilia)
14
Identify the tissue 
loose connective tissue - contains flat fibroblasts (black squished dots)
15
Identify the tissue 
dense regular connective tissue
16
Identify what the arrows are pointing at
Chondrocytes in hyaline cartilage
17
Identify the tissue 
pseudostratified epithelium, cilia
18
Classify the tissue 
dense irregular connective tissue
19
Identify the type of cartilage 
Articular cartilage, is the hyaline cartilage at the ends of bones in
joints. It lacks a perichondrium, receiving oxygen and nutrients
from the synovial fluid of the joint capsule.
