GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrocartilage is a mixture of dense regular connective tissue and hyaline cartilage . It is found in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, articular discs and menisci of joints. Intervertebral discs that are found between adjacent vertebrae of the spine contain fibrocartilage .

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrocartilage provides the tough material of the intervertebral discs; the intraarticular cartilages of the knee, wrist and temporo-mandibular joints; the articular cartilage of the temporo-mandibular joint and of the joint between the clavicle and the sternum.

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 found in the symphysis pubis, theannulus fibrosis ofintervertebral discs, and at points of attachment of tendons to bone. It is a mixture between dense regular connective tissue (similar in many respects to tendon or ligament) and hyaline cartilage.
