Chondrocytes are the cells responsible for maintaining cartilage. They are found in small cavities within the cartilage matrix called lacunae. These cells are a specialized type of connective tissue cell, derived from chondroblasts. Chondrocytes play a crucial role in the development and ongoing health of cartilage, a resilient and smooth elastic tissue that covers the ends of bones in joints, allowing them to move against each other with very little friction.
These cells are characterized by their rounded or oval shape and are surrounded by a significant amount
