Extra Information :-

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

→Cartilage is surrounded by a sheath of dense fibrous connective tissues known as "Perichondrium".

→The cells of Cartilage are known as "Chondrocytes".

→The Chondrocytes secrete a flexible matrix, known as "Chondrin".

→"Chondrin" is a "Mucoprotien".

→Cartilage is "Avascular" (not vascular).

→Nutrients diffuse into the cartilage from the nearby tissues.

→Blood vessels do not grow into the cartilage because Chondrocytes produce a chemical called "Antiangiogenesis factor".

→"Antiangiogenesis factor" is a "Potential anti-cancer agent".
