write a detailed note on chondryocytes

Answer 1

Chondrocytes are the sole cells found in the lacunae of the cartilage, a connective tissue with flexible property found in various regions of the mammalian bodies, including joints, nose and ear. They synthesise the collagen, proteoglycans and elastin fibres that make up the cartilage.
Chondrocytes produce all of the structural components of cartilage, including collagen, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Chondrocytes can be found as individuals or in clusters called isogenic groups. Isogenic groups represent recently divided cells. Note the basophilia of the cytoplasm and the presence of lipid droplets.
