the three types of cartilage include ______, _____ and ______ cartilage
hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic
_______ are cells responsible for synthesis of the cartilage-specific ECM components

Chondrocytes originate from _________ which can
also give rise to osteoblasts (bone), myoblasts (muscle) and adipocytes (fat)
