Provides support, flexibility, resilience, Reduces friction between bony surfaces

Group of lacunae with chondrocytes lying close to eachother, All chondrocytes of this group come from one chondrocyte

Forms bone matrix

Round to oval shape, Continue to synthesize and secrete matrix, Located in lacunae

Chondroblasts, Chondrocytes

Oval to round shape, Round nuclei, Basophilic cytoplasm

Provides support with more flexibility, Can be disorted and return to original shape without damage

Develops into osteoblast, assists in fracture repair

Osteoclasts dissolve bone matrix and realese stored minerals

Compact - osteon, Spongy - trabecula

Functions in resorption, the breakdown of bone matrix

Maintains bone tissue

Periosteum, Endosteum

Hyaline, Elastic, Fibrocartilage

Woven, Lamellar

Supporting soft tissues, Providing a model for the formation of most of the bones in the body

Osteogenic cells, Osteoblasts, Osteocytes, Osteoclasts

External ear, Epiglottis, Tip of nose

Double - layered protective membrane, covers all bones

Found in menisci of the knee and in intervental discs, Between pubic bones

Cells, Extracellular matrix ( ECM )

Articular - covers the ends of long bones, Costal - connects the ribs to the sternum, Respiratory - makes up larynx, reinforces air passages, Nasal - supports the nose

Long, Short, Flat, Irregular

Cells, Extracellular matrix

Delicate membrane covering internal surfaces of bone

Resists compression, Prevents bone to bone contact, Limits relative movement
