Structure, composition and Functions of Cartilage: Cartilage Anatomy & Physiology
Welcome to my channel. In this video I will teach you about the structure, Composition and functions of special connective tissue called Cartilage.
So lets talk about cartilage:
Cartilage is a non-vascular type of supporting connective tissue that is found throughout the body .
Cartilage is a connective tissue found in many areas of the body including:
Joints between bones e.g. the elbows, knees and ankles
Ends of the ribs
Between the vertebrae in the spine
Ears and nose
Bronchial tubes or airways
Cartilage Structure
Cartilage is a dense structure, that resembles a firm gel, made up of collagen and elastic fibres. It contains polysacchride derivaites called chondroitin sulfates which complex with protein in the ground substance forming proteoglycan. The matrix is produced by cells call chrondroblasts which form chrondocytes and can be found in small chambers called lacuna.
Due to the lack of blood vessels, cartilage grows and repairs more slowly than other tissues.
Cartilage type
Cartilage is categorized into three types which include:
Hyaline cartilage
This is a low-friction, wear-resistant tissue present within joints that is designed to bear and distribute weight. It is a strong, rubbery, flexible tissue but has a poor regenerative capacity.
Elastic cartilage
Elastic cartilage is more flexible that hyaline cartilage and is present in the ear, larynx and epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage
Fibrocartilage is a tough and inflexible form of cartilage found in the knee and between vertebrae.
Articular cartilage
Articular cartilage is the hyaline cartilage that lies on the surface of bones.

Amazing experience with amazing explanation.even we are on matric level but benefits from your lecture a lot of . ❤
Thank you so much sir.😊😊
Sir bohat zabardast❤❤❤
Good lecture❤❤❤
Good lecture 💞 SIR
Master🎉🎉🎉
Very well explained sir
Nice lecture it is Thanks Sir😍
Very good all confused solved
MASHA ALLAH ... Sir there must be blood supply to the Perichondrium penetrating it and traveling within/in it so as to facilitate the diffusion of nutrients to cartilage matrix which then diffuse into Chondrocytes for their nourishment (slow process) otherwise if blood vessels were present outside the Perichondrium Nutrients (and H2O ) would Never be able to Diffuse.... 🤔🤔🤔
This made me so emotional,😭😭😭😭😭😭
Walekum assalam
A.salam sir plz Upload the next chapters sir plzzz...😢
Happy teachers day
Salaam sir sir I have a quest if collagen is tough and in inelastic how it is responsible for elasticity and flexibility?please can you tell
Sir amino acid bhi padha digye
sir please upload other chapters
Amino Acid padha digye sir
Sir kp biology 2 k support and moment k chapter sai upload krain lecture slo base pey plx slo base k nhi pata please
Notes kha mele ge ye
