PERICHONDRIUM
• Dense irregularly arranged connective tissue (type I collagen)
• Ensheaths the cartilage• Houses the blood
vessels that nourish chondrocytes
![Page 4: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CHONDROBLAST
• Progenitor of chondrocytes
• Lines border between perichondrium and matrix
• Secretes type II collagen and other ECM components
• Chondroblasts build
![Page 5: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CHONDROCYTE
• Mature cartilage cell
• Reside in a space called the lacuna
• Clear areas = Golgi and lipid droplets
![Page 6: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Chondrocytes completely fill their lacunae
• RER and euchromatic nuclei
• Synthetically active, secrete matrix

MATRIX• Provides the rigidity,
elasticity, & resilience• FIBERS
– Collagenous and elastic
• GROUND SUBSTANCE– Glycosaminoglycans
(chondroitin sulfates, keratin sulfate, hyaluronic acid)
– Proteoglycans: GAGs + core protein
– Water
• Basophilic• Territorial matrix - high [ ] of
sulfated proteoglycans
![Page 8: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CARTILAGE GROWTH• Appositional
– Increasing in WIDTH; chondroblasts deposit matrix on surface of pre-existing cartilage
• Interstitial– Increasing in
LENGTH; chondrocytes divide and secrete matrix from w/in lacunae
![Page 9: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TYPES OF CARTILAGE
• HYALINE
• ELASTIC
• FIBROUS
![Page 10: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HYALINE CARTILAGE• FUNCTION
– Support tissue and organs– Model for bone development
• MATRIX– Type II collagen (thin
fibrils)– Chondroitin sulfate, keratin
sulfate, hyaluronic acid– Water
• LOCATION– Tracheal rings, nasal septum,
larynx, articular surfaces of joints
![Page 11: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ELASTIC CARTILAGE
• FUNCTION– Support with flexibility
• MATRIX– Normal components of hyaline
matrix plus ELASTIC fibers
• LOCATION– External ear, external auditory
canal, epiglottis
• STAINS – Elastic fibers stain BLACK
with Weigert stain
perichondrium

FIBROCARTILAGE
Orcein van Giesen Elastic stain - fibrocartilage - reddish brown hyaline cartilage - yellow

FIBROCARTILAGE
• FUNCTION– Support with great
tensile strength
• MATRIX– Type I collagen -
Oriented parallel to stress plane
• LOCATION– Intervertebral disks,
pubic symphysis
![Page 14: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FIBROCARTILAGE
• Chondrocytes align between collagen fibers
• Collagen fibers lie parallel to lines of stress
![Page 15: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How many types of cartilage do you see?
![Page 16: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SYNOVIAL (DIARTHRODIAL) JOINTS
![Page 17: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
JOINT DEFINITIONS
• SYNOVIAL CAVITY– Fluid filled space b/t 2 bones
• SYNOVIAL FLUID – Water and GAGs; provides
nutrients for cartilage
• SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE– Continuous with the
perichondrium
![Page 18: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SYNOVIAL “MEMBRANE”
Not a true membrane -
Why?
• Specialized secretory CT • Loose (areolar) CT• Formed by layers of
collagen and fibroblasts• Highly vascular
![Page 19: Specialized connective tissue Rigid, Elastic, Resilient - RESISTS COMPRESSION AVASCULAR – nutrients diffuse through matrix](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ce05503460f949aaa3a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• No perichondrium• Joint capsule
composed of DIACT
• Why does the cartilage at the joint stain so acidophilic (i.e. pink)?
