GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. Healthy cartilage in our joints makes it easier to move. It allows the bones to glide over each other with very little friction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Articular cartilage is bordered at its base by the subchondral bone plate (or the cortical end plate or the articular bone plate), which is a very thin cortical bone structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Articular cartilage covers the ends of long bones in synovial joints, providing smooth articulation and cushioning of the underlying bone during joint movement.
