Cartilage is a connective tissue consisting of a dense matrix of collagen fibres and elastic fibres embedded in a rubbery ground substance. The matrix is produced by cells called chondroblasts, which become embedded in the matrix as chondrocytes.
That is, mature cartilage cells are called chondrocytes.
They occur, either singly or in groups, within spaces called lacunae (sing. lacuna) in the matrix.
The surface of most of the cartilage in the body is surrounded by a membrane of dense irregular connective tissue called perichondrium. This is important to remember especially because (unlike other connective tissues), cartilage contains no blood vessels or nerves - except in the perichondrium.
There are three different types (structures) of cartilage that have slightly different structures and functions.
They are hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage.
