    Cartilage

    Properties of Cartilage

    Chondrocytes Matrix
    1. Avascular
    Fibers
    (collagen Type II, 2. Permeable
    Fibers elastic) (conducts nutirents
    and water)
    Ground Substance
    3. Flexible but Weight-Bearing
    (hyaluronic acid,
    chondroitin sulfate, (resistance to compression)
    keritin sulfate,
    60-70% H2O) 4. Elasticity and Resiliency

    5. Resistance to Shear Forces

    6. Slippery
    (low friction at articular joints)

    Isogenous 7. Poor Regenerative Capacity


    Lacunae Group
    Hyaline Cartilage Hyaline Cartilage

    Matrix (amorphous & glassy)


    hyaluronic acid
    chondroitin sulfate
    keratin sulfate chondrocyte nucleus
    H2O (60-78%)
    lacuna
    Fibers- collagenous matrix
    (invisible due to same
    refractive index as matrix)

    Typical Locations
    Hyaline Cartilage (SEM)
    intercostals (connect ribs
    to the sternum)
    wall of trachea & bronchii
    articular cartilage of bone
    epiphyseal plate
    fetal axial skeleton
    Fibrocartilage
    Fibrocartilage- longitudinal section
    Matrix collagenous fiber bundles
    hyaluronic acid Fibrocartilage- SEM
    chondroitin sulfate
    keratin sulfate
    Fibers
    dense collagenous
    bundles

    Typical Locations

    intervertebral discs Fibrocartilage- transverse section


    pubic symphysis
    meniscus of knee joint
    attach tendons to bone
    Properties
    resistance to
    compression and
    shear forces
    Elastic Cartilage Elastic Cartilage- pinnae of ear
    Elastic Fibers
    Matrix (resorcin-fuchsin stain)
    hyaluronic acid
    chondroitin sulfate
    kertatin sulfate
    Fibers
    elastic (elastin)

    Typical Locations
    external ear
    walls of external
    auditory canal and
    eustachian tubes Elastic Fibers- silver stain
    epiglottis & larynx
    bridge of nose
    Properties
    resiliency and
    pliability
    Growth of Cartilage

    Perichondrium
    perichondrium
    Appositional
    blood vessel Growth
    chondroblasts
    (peripheral mitosis
    and differentiation
    of fibroblasts)

    hyaline
    matrix

    Interstitial
    Growth
    isogenous (mitosis of chondro-
    groups cytes and deposition
