Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chondrocytes are mature cartilage cells that function to maintain the cartilage structure. These cells actively produce the component of the ECM.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chondrocytes are the cells responsible for cartilage formation, and they are crucial for the process of endochondral ossification, which is useful for bone development. Also, by mimicking skeletal development chondrocytes play a critical role in fracture repair.
Detailed explanation-3: -This process begins with a cartilage anlage where chondrocyte cells will congregate and start their maturation process. Once the chondrocytes have fully matured at the desired rate, the cartilage tissue will harden into bone.
