Study Notes
Types of Cartilage and Their Characteristics
- Three types of cartilage: Hyaline cartilage, Elastic cartilage, Fibrocartilage
- Hyaline cartilage: Contains type II collagen fibrils, proteoglycans, and multi-adhesive glycoproteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM)
- Hyaline cartilage: Shows metachromasia due to different concentrations of proteoglycans in the matrix
- Hyaline cartilage: Found in articular surfaces, epiphyseal growth plate, trachea, and bronchi
- Fibrocartilage: Contains chondrocytes, chondrocytes fibroblasts, and type I collagen
- Fibrocartilage: Located in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and attachment of ligaments to articular cartilage
- Chondrogenesis: Process of hyaline cartilage formation from mesenchyme tissue through the differentiation of chondroblasts
- Cartilage growth: Involves both appositional growth (new cartilage at the surface of preexisting cartilage) and interstitial growth (new cartilage within the cartilage mass)
- Articular cartilage: Irreparable if injured due to absence of perichondrium at sites where cartilage makes direct contact with bone
- The annulus fibrosus of intervertebral discs is made of concentric fibrocartilage, while the nucleus pulposus contains viscous fluid rich in hyaluronan and type II collagen fibrils
- Fibrocartilage in the intervertebral disc can develop fissures, leading to disc herniation and potential compression of spinal nerves
- Fibrocartilage can be observed in photomicrographs as rows of chondrocytes separated by type I collagen fibers.
