How is the body supported?
What is connective tissue?
1. Abundant
2. Makes up every organ in the body
3. Consists of cells separated from each other by an abundant extracellular matrix
Connective Tissues
1. Bones
2. Cartilage
3. Tendons
4. Ligaments
Functions of connective tissue
1. Connects tissues to one another (tendons – muscle to bone, ligaments bone to bone)
2. Support moving parts of the body (bone – rigid support, cartilage – semi rigid support)
3. Protection (bone protects underlying tissue from damage)
4. Store compounds (bones store minerals – calcium, phosphate. Adipose store triglycerides)
5. Enclosed and separate tissue (sheets of tissue around connective tissue – periosteum)
Six major functions of the skeletal system
1. Support
2. Protection
3. Assistance with movement
4. Mineral homeostasis
5. Blood cell production
6. Triglyceride storage
Cartilage
Cartilage is made up of matrix (non-cellular substance consisting of non-fibrous proteins and other
molecules, such as proteoglycans) and fluid produced by chondroblasts.
1. A dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres
2. Chondrocytes within spaces called lacunae

Key feature of cartilage
1. Avascular (no blood supply)
2. No nerves
3. Cartilage cells are formed from cells in the perichondrium and these cells produce the
cartilage matrix
How does cartilage grow?
1. Appositional growth – cartilage added to the outside of the existing cartilage
2. Interstitial growth – chondrocytes within the matrix divided and add more matrix between
the chondrocytes
Types of Cartilage
1. Hyaline
2. Fibrocartilage
3. Elastic cartilage
Hyaline Cartilage
âť– Consists of specialized cells the chondroblasts that produce the matrix. When the
chondroblasts become surrounded by matrix they change their name and are called
chondrocytes. Chondrocytes are located in spaces called lacunae
âť– Matric
âť– Perichondrium
âť– Articular cartilage
Bone
How does bone matrix form?
Osteoblasts
âť– Formation of bone through ossification or osteogenesis
âť– Collagen is produced by E.R. and golgi. Released by exocytosis
âť– Precursors of hydroxyapatite stored in vesicles, then released by exocytosis

Role of collagen in bone tissue?
âť– Organic: collagen and proteoglycans
âť– Inorganic: hydroxyapatite
If mineral removed, bone is too bendable
If collagen is removed, bone is too brittle
Types of bone growth
What is the embryonic precursor cell and tissue of bone?
Mesoderm and mesenchymal tissue
Mesoderm and mesenchymal tissue
At about 13-14 days the developing foetus forms an embryonic disc with 3 layers of cells.
1. Outer layer – ectoderm (epidermis of skin)
2. Middle layer – mesoderm (bones except facial). This tissue is called mesenchyme
3. Inner layer – endoderm (inner lining of the digestive system)
What is the embryonic precursor of tissue and cells forming intramembranous ossification?
âž” Occurs in mesenchymal cells within connective tissue such as the tissue surrounding the
developing brain
âž” Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells
âž” These differentiate into osteoblasts
âž” The osteoblasts form the woven bone matrix, eventually either trabeculae or the outer layer
of lamellar compact bone

Document Summary

What is connective tissue: abundant, makes up every organ in the body, consists of cells separated from each other by an abundant extracellular matrix. Adipose store triglycerides: enclosed and separate tissue (sheets of tissue around connective tissue periosteum) Six major functions of the skeletal system: support, protection, assistance with movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, triglyceride storage. Cartilage is made up of matrix (non-cellular substance consisting of non-fibrous proteins and other molecules, such as proteoglycans) and fluid produced by chondroblasts: a dense network of collagen fibres and elastic fibres, chondrocytes within spaces called lacunae. Key feature of cartilage: avascular (no blood supply, no nerves, cartilage cells are formed from cells in the perichondrium and these cells produce the cartilage matrix. How does cartilage grow: appositional growth cartilage added to the outside of the existing cartilage. Interstitial growth chondrocytes within the matrix divided and add more matrix between the chondrocytes. Types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic cartilage.
