Document Summary
Lecture 4: module 3: the skeletal system part 1. But are both a tissue and an organ. Bone, the tissue, makes up part of bone, the organ. Made up of more than one tissue. Bounces back to its original shape when compressed. Bone will not go back to its original shape. Contains a lot of water, gives it its spring. Most abundant cartilage in the human body. Not in a lot of locations in the body. Epiglottis (the flap the moves around when you snore) Better able to stand up to repeated bending. Has great tensile strength (lots of thick collagen fibers) Located in sites that are subject to both pressure and stretch. Symphysis pubis (comes into play when you are pregnant. Nowhere near as much pressure in the knees as in other joints (knee contains hyaline and menisci) Most of the bones in the body start as hyaline cartilage because cartilage grows a lot faster than bone.
