Translations:Perichondrium/1/en

Perichondrium is a tight layer of special connective tissue that covers the surfaces of cartilage tissues other than the joint cartilage surfaces. In the perichondrium there is a capillary network that is responsible for supplying the entire cartilage tissue surrounded by it. The transport of nutrients and oxygen to the cartilage cells takes place from the perichondrium via diffusion in the basic substance.
