9) This type of cartilage is called fibrous cartilage. The jelly-like consistency of the central part allows the intervertebral discs to function as a shock absorber. Fibrocartilage possesses a more open or spongy architecture with gaps between lacunae and collagen fiber bundles. It is this open spongy structure that makes fibrocartilage a good shock-absorbing material in the pubic symphysis and intervertebral disks.

10) Each cardiac muscle cell contacts several others at specialized sites known as intercalated discs. Intercalated discs play a vital role ...

  • Types of Specialized Connective Tissue

    591411 Types of Specialized Connective Tissue Bones, cartilage, and blood do not hold things together physically, like the connective tissues do. Why are all these types of tissue included in the family of connective tissues?

  • Skeleton Systems

    Achondroplasia literally means "without cartilage formation." As you may know, cartilage is a tough but flexible tissue that makes up the skeleton during development.

  • Connective Tissues and Homeostatic Imbalance

    cells which are capable of developing into connective tissue, bone, cartilage, the lymphatic system, and the circulatory system (c) Specialized connective tissues Consists of bone, cartilage, and blood.

  • Connective tissue

    The collagen fibers confers toughness and tensile strength. So these connective tissues are found in the bones and cartilage.

  • Major cell & tissue types in the typical animal body.

    The five main types of connective tissue are loose connective tissues (such as areolar, adipose, and reticular), dense connective tissue (such as dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic), cartilage (hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage),

  • Stem cell biology

    This is being tested for the hyaline articular cartilage. The function of cartilage is to protect bones of the joints from frictions and forces associated with load bearing and impact.

  • Anatomy/Physiology of Synovial Joints

    It is composed of areolar connective tissue with elastic fibers and adipose tissue.

  • Basic function of cell

    squamous, cuboidal, columnar, and pseudostratified columnar Define the function, general structure, and give examples of connective tissue: CT proper, loose and dense; cartilage (three types); bone (two types); and blood (RBCs, WBCs, and platelets)

  • BMC implantation and PEMF stimulation on osteochondral healing

    Seeding BMC on the scaffolding improved the cartilage cellularity parameters. PEMF stimulation significantly improved not only cartilage cellularity, but also neo-tissue morphology. The combination of PEMFs and BMC improved their separate effects.
