Slides (17, 18 , 19, 14)
With cartilage, there are chondroblasts (cells that lay down the matrix) and chondrocytes (cells that are trapped in the matrix). Red pill or blue pill. Lacuna are the spaces where cells reside within this matrix. Isogenous groups or pairs are areas where we can identify progenitors from a single cell. Remeber 'cyte' versus 'blast'.
I have added a picture of bone to show that the nomenclature will continue and that the processes are very related. This ideas of cells in a matrix are important ideas for understanding connective tissue.
This is for those interested in diseases of cartilage.
