HUMAN ANATOMY 6TH EDITION EXAM
REVIEW TESTED QUESTIONS WITH 100
PERCENT CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ Nerves or blood vessels.
Answer: Cartilage contains no what?
◉ Perichondrium
Answer: Dense irregular connective tissue surrounding cartilage;
acts as reinforcement to resist outward expansion when cartilage is
compressed; contains blood vessels that nourish cartilage cells.
◉ Hyaline, Elastic, and Fibrocartilage
Answer: The three types of cartilage tissue; have chondrocytes
enclosed in lacunae with an extracellular matrix containing a
jellylike ground substance and fibers.
◉ Hyaline Cartilage
Answer: Provide support with flexibility and resilience; most
abundant skeletal cartilages; chondrocytes are spherical and only
fiber those in their matrix is fine collagen fibers.
,◉ Articular Cartilage
Answer: Hyaline cartilage that covers the ends of most bones at
movable joints.
◉ Costal Cartilage
Answer: Hyaline cartilage that connect the ribs to the sternum
(breastbone).
◉ Respiratory Cartilage
Answer: Hyaline cartilage that form the skeleton of the larynx and
reinforce other respiratory passageways.
◉ Nasal Cartilage
Answer: Hyaline cartilage that support the external nose.
◉ Elastic Cartilages
Answer: Resemble hyaline cartilages; Contain more stretchy elastic
fibers and so are better able to stand up to repeated bending; Only
found in external ear and epiglottis.
◉ Fibrocartilage
Answer: Highly compressible; great tensile strength; consist of
roughly parallel rows of chondrocytes alternating with thick
, collagen fibers; occur in sites subjected to pressure and stretch such
as menisci of the knee and discs between vertebrae.
◉ Cartilage
Answer: Which has a flexible matrix that can accommodate mitosis:
bone or cartilage?
◉ Appositional Growth of cartilage
Answer: Cartilage-forming cells in the surrounding perichondrium
secrete new matrix against the external face of the existing cartilage
tissue.
◉ Interstitial Growth of Cartilage
Answer: lacunae-bound chondrocytes divide and secrete new
matrix, expanding the cartilage from within. Typically, cartilage
growth ends during adolescence when the skeleton stops growing.
◉ During normal bone growth in youth and old age
Answer: When can cartilage become calcified?
◉ Cartilage
Answer: What grows by both appositional and interstitial growth?
