Hyaline cartilage, which is located on the articular surfaces of bones, has a defined microstructure and unique organization of cells and macromolecules. These distinctive properties of cartilage make natural regeneration difficult and current treatments often result in the formation of fibrous tissue. ...
such as the trachea and bronchi. Hyaline cartilage also makes up the fetal model of the future long bones and can be found at the epiphysealgrowth platesof immature bone.Fibrocartilageis found at theacetabulum,intervertebral disks, menisci, and tendinous insertions. It is more pliable thanhyaline...
Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, a rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and
The Jehol ecosystem of Northeast China belongs to a Konservat-Lagerstätte in which most unearthed vertebrates have articulated skeletons, often accompanied by exquisite soft tissue and organ preservation13,14. It is logical to assume that, at least in some Jehol fossils, this morphological ...
Endochondral ossification (the replacement of cartilage with bone, occurring during skeletal development) is essential for bone formation, especially in long-axis bones. In contrast to endochondral ossification, chondrocyte populations in articular cartilage persist and maintain joint tissue into adulthood. ...
5The circadian rhythm biological clock consists of a central oscillator and peripheral oscillators. The central oscillator is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which receives light signals of external light-dark cycles through the retina, and then transmits them to ...

A ___ connects two bones by a wedge or pad of fibrous cartilage; includes vertebrae and pubic bones. Fibrous Cartilage: Fibrous cartilage consists of cartilage ground substance, fibroblasts, and chondrocytes which make it very tough and strong. This ti...
Received: 15 August 2019; Accepted: 2 September 2019; Published: 11 September 2019 Abstract: In the development of the skeleton, the long bones are arising from the process of endochondral ossification (EO) in which cartilage is replaced by bone. This complex process is re...
Articular chondrocytes reside in a thin layer of specialized hyaline cartilage, which is located on bone surfaces. The principal function of this connective tissue is to provide a smooth, lubricated surface for low friction articulation and to facilitate the transmission of loads to the underlying sub...
