31 Αυγ 2017 · Formed by the process of chondrogenesis, the resulting chondrocytes are capable of producing large amounts of collagenous extracellular matrix and ground substance, which together form cartilage itself. This article explains the structure, composition, formation and histology of cartilage.
Cells and Tissues. Tissues are classified into four basic types: epithelium, connective tissue (includes cartilage, bone and blood), muscle, and nervous tissue.
17 Ιουλ 2023 · Cartilage consists of 3 main elements: Specialised cells. The extracellular matrix. Collagen fibres. Cartilaginous tissue is encased by a fibrous sheath called the perichondrium (which has a similar function to the periosteum in bone) which provides protection and mechanical support. The Specialised Cells.
Cartilage contains over 95% extracellular matrix in which cartilage cells (chondocytes) are embedded. This matrix is specialised in the different types of cartilage (hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage) to effect their different functional roles.
Schematic, cross-sectional diagram of healthy articular cartilage: A, cellular organization in the zones of articular cartilage; B, collagen fiber architecture. (Copyright American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
17 Ιαν 2023 · The main cell types in cartilage are chondrocytes, the ground substance is chondroitin sulfate, and the fibrous sheath is called perichondrium. There are three types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrous, and elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread type and resembles glass.
17 Οκτ 2024 · Relate the functions of the three cartilage types to their structure and location. List the steps in the histogenesis and growth of cartilage. Relate chondrocyte ultrastructure to the synthesis and maintenance of extracellular matrix. Recognize the cartilage type present in a micrograph and identify its components.
