Layer of Proliferating Chondrocytes

The layer of proliferating chondrocytes (stratum chondrocytorum multiplicantium) is a layer of cells in the pineal gland that is responsible for the growth and development of cartilage tissue. This layer is an important component of the pineal gland and plays a key role in the regulation of circadian rhythms.

Chondrocytes are cells that form cartilage tissue. In the pineal gland they are found in the layer of proliferating chondrocytes. This layer is located between the epithelial cell layer and the astrocyte layer.

The proliferating chondrocyte layer contains many chondrocytes that divide and multiply. This ensures the constant growth of cartilage tissue, which is necessary for the normal development of the epiphysis.

In addition, the layer of proliferating chondrocytes also contains various growth factors, such as insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), which regulate the growth and differentiation of chondrocytes.

Disruption of the layer of proliferating chondrocytes can lead to various diseases such as epilepsy, depression and other mental disorders. Therefore, the study of this layer and its role in the regulation of circadian rhythms is an important area of ​​research in neuroscience and medicine.

Layer of multiplicative chondrocytes (stratrum chondrocytaerum multiplicatorium, lncf; syn.: Inhchroma chondrificums epiphyseae) A. General characteristics The layer of multiplicative chondrocytes (hereinafter referred to as the mucous layer of the bone marrow) is located between the dense connective membrane and the Haversian plates. The structure of this layer has a spiral
