Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found in the human body that is characterized by cartilage cells known as chondrocytes which are embedded in the extracellular matrix. Cartilage is a flexible avascular type of connective tissue found in many different parts of the body and can be subdivided into three types according to its properties and components.
The three types of cartilage are hyaline cartilage which contains large amounts of type two collagen in its extracellular matrix and is the most common type of cartilage found in your body. Then we have fibrocartilage whose matrix mainly contains type one collagen and can be found in areas of the body that are subject to pulling forces. And the other type is the star of this tutorial, the elastic cartilage, which as the name suggests contains numerous elastic fibers and is quite a pliable type of cartilage. Cartilage essentially doesn't possess vasculature on its own so it derives its nutrition through diffusion from capillaries in neighboring tissue.
In this tutorial, we will cover the following points:
- Overview of the types of cartilage;
- Location of elastic cartilage;
- Types of cells and extra cellular matrix found in elastic cartilage;
- Clinical notes connected to the elastic cartilage: cartilage injuries.
