Osteocytes Bone Cells Osteo = Bone Cytes = Cells
Lacunae cavities in the matrix were osteocytes are found
Haversian central) canals are the centers of the lamellae; they carry blood vessels and nerves
Calcium salts in the matrix provide the hardness
collagen fibers provide flexibility and great tensile strength
Fibrous Joints Tissue? Cavity? Movement? Bones united by fibrous tissue no joint cavity Mostly immovable
Cartilaginous Joint Tissue? Cavity? Movement? Connected by Cartilage No joint cavity Slightly movable
Synovial Joint Tissue? Cavity? Movement? Articular cartilage separates, joint cavity Synovial fluids is in cavity Fluid lubricates the joint Very movable
What are the features of a Synovial Joint Articular Cartilage (hyaline cartilage) covers the ends of the bone Joint surfaces are enclosed by a fibrous articular capsule Have a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid Ligaments reinforce the joint
