Q

Cartilage components

A

Non-mineralized

Composed of: gel matrix, collage or elastic fibers, chondrocytes

No blood supply or innervation

Flexible: stronger under compression versus tension

Easy to injure and difficult to repair (hard to get nutrients to chondrocytes and diffusion must happen through the gel matrix)

A part of growth tissue in fetus and juvenile (grows rapidly due to have both surface and intestinal growth)

In adults: ears, nose, larynx, joints

Q

Components of calcified cartilage

A

Mineralized (hydroxyapatite in gel matrix)

Unorganized microstructure (mineral added between cartilage cells)

Stronger than cartilage, but repair is more difficult due to hydroxyapatite blocking mineral diffusion

Found in shark vertebrae, horse larynx, deepest articular cartilage

Transitional tissue: toward endovhondral bone formation

Calcification can be pathogenic
