Believe it or not, one of the best cartilage builder in existence is Jello in powdered form; powdered Gelatin is made from pig cartilage, and has long been used to rebuild cartilage in those who have had knee injuries and other problems cartilage related.
I had a friend years ago who told me how he got onto it after having a severe knee injury. He found a powdered gelatin product called Knox (made by Kraft), and he used to order it by the case from the company. Over the years as the beneficial effects of gelatin on Arthritis and a range of other problems became known, Knox began marketing the same stuff as a medical supplement. You can get it in the supermarket along with the regular boxed stuff for making Jell-O type gelatin. Jell-O is just as good too.
If you Google gelatin supplements you'll get a wide range of products that are expensive, but the easiest and best way is a box of the stuff in water, and down the hatch. Or if you prefer, just make it into Jell-O and take it in that way.
I've used it myself and the stuff works to help rebuild cartilage damage.
Dietary supplements that are good for improving muscles around the chest area are creatine, L-Arginine, and protein supplements.
Combining forms for cartilage are: chondr/i or chondr/o
Yes lots of it. The coastal cartillage connects the endots of the ribs to the sternum.
If the ribs were not attached to the sternum by cartilage (which is flexible), it would be more difficult to breathe, because as you inhale and exhale the chest needs to be able to flex.
The sternum is a long, flat bone located at the center of the chest that connects to the ribs on both sides. It serves as an important attachment point for various muscles and ligaments, providing structural support to the chest cavity. The sternum is also commonly referred to as the breastbone.
Costochondral means related to the rib and its cartilage.
Attaching the ribs anteriorly by cartilage allows for greater flexibility and movement during breathing. The cartilage also helps to provide support and protection to the ribcage, as it can flex and expand with the chest cavity.
The cartilage between your ribs and breastbone allows for flexibility and movement of the ribcage during breathing. As you inhale, the cartilage expands and stretches, while it contracts and returns to its original position when you exhale. This movement helps to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the chest cavity during breathing.
Hello, the medical term name for inflammation of the chest cavity is Costachondritis. It means the area where your chest and rib bones meet is inflamed. Or the area where the sternum and your intercostal cartilage is located near your ribcage. I have this condition and it comes & goes especially in the winter months.
A site called The Restoration Studio has videos on YouTube. Another site called Main Belle has a restoration project done on a Cedar Chest. The John Mark Power website makes custom cedar chests.

I think you are looking for the Sternum, which is the bone at the front of the chest that connects most of the ribs together via some cartilage
