Cartilage grows both appositionally and interstitially. Appositional growth occurs at the outer surface, where new cartilage is added by chondroblasts in the perichondrium. Interstitial growth happens from within the cartilage itself, as chondrocytes divide and secrete new matrix, leading to an increase in cartilage size. Both mechanisms contribute to the overall growth and maintenance of cartilage tissue.
What else can I help you with?
Why can a bone not grow interstitially?
Because of the hard calcium salts in the matrix
What happens to the cartilage in your body as you grow up?
as you grew, most of your cartilage was replaced by bone.
All bones grow by replacing what?
Hyaline cartilage
Can The skeleton can still grow as long as there is cartilage left in the?
cartilage just prevents bones from rubbing into each other
What best describes the interstitial growth of cartilage?
Chondrocytes in the lacunae divide and secrete matrix, allowing the cartilage to grow from within.
Does an adult skeleton have more cartilage than a child's?
No, Children have allot of cartilage in their bodies, which turns to bone as they grow older.

Do ear cartilage piercings make your ear grow bigger?
Ermmm...NO not at all!
Where do you get cartilage pierced if you are 12?
It's a no brainer, YOU DON'T. Your body still has to grow!!
In adults does cartilage grow back faster than bones?
No, cartilage generally does not grow back faster than bones in adults. Cartilage has limited regenerative capacity, while bones have a higher propensity for healing and regeneration due to their abundant blood supply and regenerative cells.
How much cartilage do humans?
Humans are born with approximately 80% of their skeleton made of cartilage, which gradually transforms into bone as they grow. By adulthood, the amount of cartilage in the body decreases significantly, with only a few areas retaining cartilage, such as the joints, nose, and ears. In total, an adult human has about 15% of their original cartilage remaining, primarily in the form of articular cartilage that cushions joints.
