Question

differentiate between bone and cartilage with respect to structure ,function and location

Answer 1

Bone:- the skeletal tissue which are hard and non elastic is known as bones.
Cartilage:- the skeletal tissue which are soft and elastic is known as cartilage

Answer 2

Cartilage

1. It is soft elastic and flexible
2. Cells are known as chondrocytes
3. Matrix is non vascular
4. Matrix is a homogenous mass without lamellae
5. Matrix has a protein called chondrin
6. Matrix is entirely organic
7. Matrix may or may not have calcium salts
8. Each Cartilage lacks blood supply except in perichondrium
9. Growth pattern of cartilage is unidirectional
10. Chondrocytes lack protoplasmic process
11. Lacunae lack canaliculi
12. Each lacunae has 2-3 chondrocytes
13. Bone marrow like structure is absent
14. Haversian systems and Volkman’s canals are absent
15. Three types- hyaline cartilage, fibro cartilage and elastic cartilage

Bone

1. It is hard, inelastic and tough
2. Cells are known as osteocytes
3. Matrix is vascular
4. Matrix occur in lamellae
5. Matrix has a protein called ossein.
6. Matrix is both organic and inorganic
7. Matrix always have calcium salts predominantly calcium phosphates
8. Bones are rich in blood supply
9. Growth pattern of bone is bidirectional
10. osteocytes have filopodia
