Difference between Bone and Cartilage

The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Bone and Cartilage.

Difference # Bone:

1. It is hard.

2. Matrix has an inflexible material, the ossein.

3. Matrix always contains calcium salts.

4. Matrix occurs in lamellae.

5. Osteocytes give off protoplasmic processes.

6. Lacunae give offcanaliculi.

7. Outer and inner layers of osteoblasts of a bone produce osteocytes.

8. Bones have rich blood supply.

9. Bone marrow is present that produces blood corpuscles.

10. Growth in bone is bi-directional.

Difference # Cartilage:

1. It is soft.

2. Matrix has a flexible material, the chondrin

3. Calcium sate may or may not be present in the matrix.

4. Matrix occurs in a homogenous mass (i.e..lamellae are absent).

5. Chondrob lasts do not have protoplasmic process.

6. Lacunae do not have caoaliculi.

7. Such layers of chondroblasis are not present.

8. Cartilages do not have rich blood supply.

9. Such structure is absent.

10. Growth in cartilage is unidirectional.
