In this zone, the chondrocytes undergo hypertrophy (become enlarged). Chondrocytes contain large amounts of glycogen and begin to secrete vascular endothelial growth factor to initiate vascular invasion. Zone of calcification In this zone, chondrocytes are either dying or dead, leaving cavities that will later become invaded by bone-forming ...
[3] [5] This is termed interstitial growth and is one of only two ways cartilage can grow. [ 4 ] Cartoon representation of hyaline cartilage with isogenous groups.
The adrenal cortex comprises three main zones, or layers that are regulated by distinct hormones as noted below. This anatomic zonation can be appreciated at the microscopic level, where each zone can be recognized and distinguished from one another based on structural and anatomic characteristics. [3]
The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).
The composition and chemical properties of the interstitial fluid vary among organs and undergo changes in chemical composition during normal function, as well as during body growth, conditions of inflammation, and development of diseases, [2] as in heart failure [5] and chronic kidney disease. [6]
It contains the growth plate, the part of the bone that grows during childhood, and as it grows it ossifies near the diaphysis and the epiphyses. The metaphysis contains a diverse population of cells including mesenchymal stem cells , which give rise to bone and fat cells, as well as hematopoietic stem cells which give rise to a variety of ...
The cast of “Friends” is well known for being besties, but that developed over time. During an appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, “Friends” star Lisa Kudrow ...
The ventricular and subventricular zones exist inferior to the intermediate zone and communicate with other zones through cell signalling. These zones additionally create neurons destined to migrate to other areas in the cortex. [1] [6] The marginal zone, along with the cortical zone, make up the 6 layers that form the cortex. This zone is the ...
