Q

why do isogenous groups form in cartilage?

A

because, unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not allow cell movement, so when a parent cell divides into daughter cells they are kept close to each other

put simply, a synovial joint is a joint that ….

A

moves freely

86
Q

T/F articular cartilage is a specialized form of hyaline cartilage

87
Q

how is articular cartilage distinct from hyaline cartilage?

A

differential staining
