HLSC 2F95 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Epiphyseal Plate, Human Musculoskeletal System, Connective Tissue
Document Summary
Cartilage and bones are forms of ct, are multifunctional and are. Essential and of multiple forms profoundly associated with the musculoskeletal system and therefore movement. Joints are the sites of movement where two or more bones meet. Bone is an active and living tissue. Connective tissue: connective tissue proper (loose and dense, fluid connective tissue (blood, and lymph, supporting connective tissue (cartilage and bone) Fixed (fibroblasts that produce ct fibers, fibrocytes which maintains fibers/matrix) Wandering (lymphocytes which are immune response cells, free macrophages: fibers. Growth (longitudinal in bone at epiphyseal plates) Hyaline fetal skeleton - epiphyseal plate articular surfaces support model. Elastic external ear auditory canal- larynx. Fibrous intervertebral discs symphysis pubis sternoclavicular joint- Tmj: chondrocytes (cartilage cells, collagen, elastic, reticular fibers, avascular, diffusion through matrix, perichondrium (covers the cartilage, limited strength / bendable, interstitial & appositional growth, limited repair ability. Intramembranous bone growth: most flat bones (patella, part of short bones (mostly in skull)
