Fibrocartilage | Description, Anatomy, Function, Facts | Britannica Fibrocartilage is the tough, very strong tissue found predominantly in the intervertebral disks and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons; it is similar to other fibrous tissues but contains cartilage ground substance and chondrocytes
Fibrocartilage: Histology, location, function, structure | Kenhub Fibrocartilage is a transition tissue that should be viewed as a blend between hyaline cartilage and dense fibrous connective tissue It is a white, densely arranged, opaque, tufted tissue with a mixture of both chondrocytes and fibroblasts
Fibrocartilage - Wikipedia Fibrocartilage consists of a mixture of white fibrous tissue and cartilaginous tissue in various proportions It owes its inflexibility and toughness to the former of these constituents, and its elasticity to the latter
Fibrocartilage - Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary Fibrocartilage is the strongest transitional connective tissue made up of collagen fibers and chondrocytes Fibrocartilage is a cross between hyaline cartilage and dense connective tissue The presence of collagen fibers makes this tissue resilient while cartilage tissue provides elasticity
Types of Cartilage: Anatomical Structure and Physical Characteristics . . . Fibrocartilage is uniquely designed to handle pressure and compression, making it a key component in high-stress areas Its dense structure sets it apart from other cartilage types Located in the intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and menisci of the knee
Fibrocartilage – Tutorial – Histology Atlas for Anatomy and Physiology Fibrocartilage is a supportive connective tissue that is extremely durable yet shock absorptive due to the abundance of densely packed collagen fibers and very little ground substance in its extracellular matrix The main type of cell found in fibrocartilage is chondrocytes (mature cartilage cells) which exist in a tiny space known as a lacuna
Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tear (TFCC) The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) connects the bones in your forearm with bones in your wrist The structure — made up of ligaments, tendons and cartilage — helps support and stabilize your wrist
TFCC Tear - Symptoms, Causes, Treatment Surgery Explained A TFCC tear is a tear of the triangular fibrocartilage complex It is a combination of ligaments and cartilage which holds together the radius and the ulna, enabling stable rotation of the forearm
