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
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.
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 skeleton?
No, Children have allot of cartilage in their bodies, which turns to bone as they grow older.
Does an adults skeleton have more cartilage than a child's skeleton?
No, Children have allot of cartilage in their bodies, which turns to bone as they grow older.
Where do you get cartilage pierced if you are 12?
It's a no brainer, YOU DON'T. Your body still has to grow!!
Do ear cartilage piercings make your ear grow bigger?
Ermmm...NO not at all!
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.
What are the mechanisms of cartilage growth?
Cartilage growth primarily occurs through two mechanisms: interstitial growth and appositional growth. Interstitial growth involves the proliferation of chondrocytes within the cartilage matrix, leading to an increase in cartilage volume. Appositional growth occurs at the cartilage surface, where new chondrocytes are added from the perichondrium, contributing to the thickness of the cartilage. Together, these processes enable cartilage to grow and adapt to mechanical demands.
