Name the outer connective tissue layer around cartilage?

Cartilage is enclosed by a layer of dense connective tissue called the perichondrium, except on the articulating surfaces in joint cavities. The perichondrium has two layers-- a fibrous outer layer and an inner layer of cells with chondrogenic (cartilage-forming) potential. The chondrogenic cells undergo division and differentiate into chondroblasts.
