porcstruktúrák
Porcstruktúrák, commonly referred to as cartilage structures, are specialized connective tissues found throughout the vertebrate body. They provide support, flexibility, and smooth surfaces for joints, acting as shock absorbers and reducing friction between bones. Cartilage is composed of chondrocytes, which are cells embedded within an extracellular matrix rich in collagen and proteoglycans. This matrix gives cartilage its characteristic firmness and resilience.
There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage. Hyaline cartilage is
Unlike bone, cartilage lacks blood vessels and nerves, meaning it receives nutrients through diffusion from surrounding
