Seeley's Anatomy and Physiology 10th Ed. Skeletal System
(Bones and Bone Tissue) Questions and Answers
What are the three types of cartilage? hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage
Ligaments strong bands of fibrous connective tissue that attach to bones and hold them
together
tendons strong bands of connective tissue that connect bone to skeletal muscle
chondroblasts Cartilage cells that produce matrix
chondrocyte Cartilage cells surrounded by matrix
Lacuna A crater in the matrix where chondrocytes are located
perichondrium double-layered connective tissue sheath covering most cartilage
Articular cartilage hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they come
together to form joints, has no perichondrium, blood vessels, or nerves
appositional growth chondroblasts in the perichondrium add new cartilage to the outside
edge of the existing cartilage
