flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones
No nerve supply and blood supply
Types of cartilage
Hyaline elastic and fibro cartilage
Hyaline cartilage
Most abundant
Slightly flexible
extracellular material composed of chondroitin sulfate and protein fibers.
Mature cartilage cells in lacunae
Chondrocytes
Elastic cartilage
Around ear,
Fibrocartilage
Slightly movable joints
Lots of collagen fibers
Appositional growth
the chondroblasts located deep to the perichondrium secrete new ECM on the superficial surface of the cartilage, therefore, the new cartilage forms from outside in.
Interstitial Growth
Inside out
Compact/ivory
Strong, 80% in body
Spongy/cancellate /trabecular
