Gelenkknorpel/en

There are three types of cartilage in our body: Hyaliner, elastic and fibrous cartilage.

The hyaline cartilage is transparent and shimmers bluish-white like frosted glass. It is characterized by high elasticity and compressive strength. At the joints it acts like a cushion that absorbs shocks. The smoothness of the cartilage surface enables low-friction movement of the joint bodies against each other. In addition to the joint surfaces, we find hyaline cartilage on the ribs, in the nasal septum, on the larynx, trachea and bronchi.

In addition to the substances of hyaline cartilage, the elastic cartilage contains elastic fibre nets. They give this cartilage a characteristic yellow appearance. The elastic cartilage cannot regenerate. It won't ossify for that either. Elastic cartilage is much less common than hyaline cartilage. We'll find him at: External auditory canal Ear trumpet and some laryngeal cartilage.

Der Faserknorpel hat einen hohen Bestandteil an kollagenen, miteinander verflochtenen Faserbündeln, die ihn stabil und gleichzeitig elastisch machen. Unter anderem bestehen unsere Bandscheiben (Disci intervertebrales) aus Faserknorpel. Jede von ihnen bildet einen Faserring mit einem gallertartigen Kern, der Stöße und Erschütterungen abfängt. Auch Knochen und Bänder sind teilweise durch Faserknorpel fest miteinander verbunden.
