Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cartilage is solely composed of cells known as chondrocytes. Chondrocytes maintain the extracellular matrix (ECM) and produce the cartilage matrix. Surrounded by collagenous fibers, chondrocytes release substances to make cartilage strong yet flexible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since the chondrocytes are restricted in lacunae they cannot migrate to damaged tissues and therefore, compared to other tissue injuries, cartilage tissue repair may be rather slow or difficult. Synonym(s): cartilage cell.
