differentiate between Bone and cartilage
Answers
Answer:
Cartilage and Bone are specialised forms of connective tissue. They are both made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. ... Cartilage is thin, avascular, flexible and resistant to compressive forces. Bone is highly vascularised, and its calcified matrix makes it very strong.
Bones--
☆ Bones are the hard, inelastic and a tough organ that forms part of the vertebral skeleton.
☆Bones are of two types: compact or spongy.
☆Bone cells are known as osteocytes.
☆The matrix is both organic and inorganic.
☆Presence of blood vessels.
☆Has deposits of calcium salts.
☆The bones have a rich blood supply.
Cartilage --
☆Cartilage is soft, elastic and flexible connective tissue that protects the bone from rubbing against each other.
☆Cartilage is of three types: Hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage.
☆Cartilage cells are known as chondrocytes
☆The matrix is completely organic.
☆Absence of blood vessels.
☆May or may not have deposition of calcium salts.
☆Lacks blood supply except in few cartilages.
