Document Summary

Functions of the skeletal system: skeletal system has four components. Ligaments: bones are organs composed of. Cartilage: chondroblasts produce cartilage and become chondrocytes, chondrocytes are located in lacunae surrounded by matrix, the matrix of cartilage contains collagen fibers (for strength) and proteoglycans (trap water, the perichondrium surrounds cartilage. The inner layer contains chondroblasts: cartilage grows by appositional and interstitial growth. Approximately 35% organic and 65% inorganic material: organic. Hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate crystal) provides weight-bearing strength: bone cells. Osteoblasts produce bone matrix and become osteocytes: osteoblasts connect to one another through cell processes and surround themselves with bone matrix to become osteocytes, osteocytes are located in lacunae and are connected to one another through canaliculi. Osteoclasts originate from stem cells in red bone marrow: ossification (osteogenesis) Osteoblasts on a preexisting surface, such as cartilage or bone. The cell processes of different osteoblasts join together.
