Basic principles of cartilage tissues: Cartilage cells
1. They absorb shocks to protect other body tissues, The cells of cartilage tissue are called chondrocyte.
2. They are found on the articular surfaces so they They are found within the small spaces called lacuna.
facilitate the movements of joints, Lacuna is oval in surfaces, while they appear circle in
3. They support the development of bones and the deep places of cartilage tissue.
skeleton so they help the growth of bones,
especially long bones,
4. They are also found in the structures of airways
like trachea and bronchus to prevent collapse of
these regions

Cartilage
There are different types of cartilage according to its
Cartilage is a special type of connective tissue. It develops fibers. These types are important as organism has
from the mesoderm layer of embryo like all other various needs.
connective tissues.
Development of cartilage: Cartilage tissue is an example for the tissues which
Interstisial (Mytotic division of chondrocytes) do not have nerves and blood vessels.
Apositional (differenciation of cells in perichondrium)
Cells and fibres of cartilage tissue are embedded in a jelly
like basic matter.
CARTILAGE TISSUES
There are 3 types of cartilage tissue in organism;
Hyaline cartilage
Elastic cartilage
Fibrous cartilage
