GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrocartilage is a dense, whitish tissue with a distinct fibrous texture. It forms the intervertebral discs of the spine and menisci of the knee, as well as smaller structures such as the glenoid and acetabular labra, and the lining of bony grooves for tendons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrocartilage is a transitional tissue that derives from mesenchymal tissue that lacks a perichondrium and has structural and functional properties between that of dense fibrous connective tissue and hyaline cartilage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fibrocartilage is a flexible, elastic, tough form of cartilage that provides cushioning in the joints.

Detailed explanation-5: -An intervertebral disc (or intervertebral fibrocartilage) lies between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column. Each disc forms a fibrocartilaginous joint (a symphysis), to allow slight movement of the vertebrae, to act as a ligament to hold the vertebrae together, and to function as a shock absorber for the spine.
