CONNECTIVE TISSUE

HYALIN CARTILAGE:

STRUCTURE:

1.Firm and flexible                                                             

2.Chondrocytes(alive)

3.Cell of cartilage within lacunae

DISTRIBUTION:

1.Tachea 

2.Bronchi

FUNCTIONS

1.Covers the ends of bonds and reduces friction between joints during movement 

2.It  forms tge embryonic skeleton in many bony vertebrates

COMPACT BONE

STRUCTURE:

1.Living tissue 

2.Consist 

 (a)Osteocytes:Mature Osteoblasts

  

 ( b)Osteoblast:Form new bone and release calcium phosphate

  (c)Canaliculi:Contain cytoplasmic strands which connect the lacuna to each other

FUNCTIONS

1.Storage for calcium phosphorus

2.protect organ

3.Red blood cell production site
