Fibrous Cartilage
• is a form of connective tissue transitional between dense connective
tissue and hyaline cartilage. Chondrocytes may lie singly or in pairs,
but most often they form short rows between dense bundles of
collagen fibres. In contrast to other cartilage types, collagen type I is
dominant in fibrous cartilage.
• is typically found in relation to joints (forming intra-articular lips, disks
and menisci) and is the main component of the intervertebral disks,
symphysis pubis.
• merges imperceptibly into the neighbouring tissues, typically
tendons or articular hyaline cartilage. It is difficult to define the
perichondrium because of the fibrous appearance of the cartilage
and the gradual transition to surrounding tissue types.
Fibrocartilage
Fibro Cartilage
NO PERICHONDRIUM Found: in between bones/joints
● appears as many chondrocytes embedded in many layers of collagen fibers.
● there are no real distinct layers of cells as found in Hyaline and Elastic Cartilage.
● GOOD INDICATOR: Will see near end of bone, lines of cartilage cells extending towards the middle of where the two bones meet.

very good and detailed video about skeletal system in our body. Skeletal system functions and advantages on our life.
cartilage repair
cartilage is very important factor.. cartilage has lots of forms.. and cartilage system is very important functions but also cartila repair mechanism is very important for all of us. cartilage system repairing.. Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the ten most disabling diseases in the developed world and is set to become more of a financial burden on health services as average life expectancy increases. Cartilage defects affect patients of all age groups. Surgeons, teamdoctors, general practitioners and physiotherapists alike are expected to provide adequate care.

Elastic cartilage contains, in addition to collagen, fibers of the protein elastin. This makes it firm yet supple, giving support, for example, to the external ear and epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage is made up of tightly packed bundles of collagen fibers, making it resilient and able to withstand compression. Fibrocartilage lies, for example, between vertebrae.

types of bone cancer
Types of bone cancer
Mostly when someone with cancer in the bones this is called metastatic cancer. It can be seen in many types of advanced cancer such as breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. When these types of cancer in the bones are examined under the microscope, the tissue change observed. For example, if someone has lung cancer that has spread to bones, the cancer cells in bone are still and act as cells of lung cancer. They did not look or behave like cells from bone cancer, even if they are in the bones. Because these cells also act as cancer cells of lung cancer, they still need to be treated with drugs that are used for lung cancer.
