Layer of dense connective tissue surrounding cartilage like a gridle. Name and describe the three types of cartilage. Hyaline cartilage: provides support, flexibility, resilience, most abundant type, articular (joints), costal (ribs), respiratory (larynx), nasal cartilage. Elastic cartilage: similar to hyaline cartilage, external ear and epiglottis. Fibrocartilage: thicken collagen fibers: has great tensile strength, menisci of knee; vertebral discs. Support, protection, movement, mineral and growth factor storage, blood cell formation triglyceride, hormone production. Bones are classified according to one of four shapes. Long bones: longer than they are wide, limbs. Short bones: cube shaped bones (wrist and ankle: sesamoid (patella) Flat bones: thin, flat, slightly curved (sternum, scapulae, ribs and skull) Dense outer layer on every bone that appears smooth and solid.
