  2. Chondroblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondroblast

    Within adults and developing adults, most chondroblasts are located in the perichondrium. This is a thin layer of connective tissue which protects cartilage and is where chondroblasts help to expand cartilage size whenever prompted to by hormones such as GH, TH, and glycosaminoglycans. [2]

  3. Chondrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrocyte

    The chondroblast is now a mature chondrocyte that is usually inactive but can still secrete and degrade the matrix, depending on conditions. Cell culture studies of excess Vitamin A inhibits the synthesis of chondroitin sulfate by chondrocytes and causes the inhibition of chondrogenesis in the developing embryo which may result in limb ...

  4. Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autologous_matrix-induced...

    In general various factors have been identified known to influence the result after cartilage repair regardless of the technique used. Amongst them are the species and age of the individual, the size and localization of the articular cartilage defect, the surgical technique, and the postoperative rehabilitation protocol.

  5. Perichondrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perichondrium

    The perichondrium (from Greek περί, peri, 'around' and χόνδρος, chondros, 'cartilage') is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds the cartilage of developing bone.

  6. Chondrogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondrogenesis

    A spotted gar larva at 22 days stained for cartilage (blue) and bone (red). Chondrogenesis is the biological process through which cartilage tissue is formed and developed. . This intricate and tightly regulated cellular differentiation pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development, as cartilage serves as a fundamental component of the embryonic skele

  7. Microfracture surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfracture_surgery

    The quality of the repair tissue after these "bone marrow stimulating techniques" depends on various factors including the species and age of the individual, the size and localization of the articular cartilage defect, the surgical technique, e.g., how the subchondral bone plate is treated, and the postoperative rehabilitation protocol.

  8. Fibrocartilage callus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrocartilage_callus

    Comminuted midshaft humerus fracture with callus formation.. A fibrocartilage callus is a temporary formation of fibroblasts and chondroblasts which forms at the area of a bone fracture as the bone attempts to heal itself.

  9. Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate

    The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).
