Cartilago
Cartilago (-inis, f.) est textus conexivus, qui in multis partis corporis vertebratorum (ergo et humani) invenitur, velut in appendicibus et membranis ex ossibus, auribus, naso, thorace, cubito, genu, talo, bronchis, et discis intervertebralibus.
Vertebratis non osteichthibus (et nonnullis quoque Osteichthibus - i.e. vertebratis osseis pristinis) sceletus totus e cartilagine constat. Non tam dura rigidaque quam os est, sed rigidior et minus flexibilis quam musculus. Cellulae cartilaginem conformantes chondrocyti appellantur.
Structura cartilaginis
Cartilago imprimis ex cellulis, chondrocytis, et matrice extracellulari constituta est.
