Prechondral tissue

The name "prechondral" has double roots and comes from two Latin verbs - "prae" (in front) and "chondros" (cartilage). The term refers to tissue that is located at the front of the knee joint and is not contained in the main synovial tissue of the knee. In this context, the prechondral tissues are part of the prechrdial ligament of the knee joint.

Prechondral tissue is a fibrous, strong, and tear-resistant connective tissue that is especially important in conditions of constant mechanical stress on the knee joint, such as those encountered during long-distance running or jumping.

Prechondral tissue is one of the components of the human skeleton, which is formed during the period of intrauterine development of the fetus. Due to the abundance of cartilage tissue in the human body, this tissue, or rather the prechondral tissue, is a good place for the growth of neoplasms

Prechondral tissue is an analogue of cartilage tissue, but located in the thickness of the bone and consisting of cartilage cells. This cell structure provides nutrition to the bones. Prechordal tissue in anatomy is usually designated as t. Premaxillaris. It is located inside the body, covering the palate. The supporting function is performed by its canine elements; they help prevent tooth loss. In case of tissue pathology, tumors form in place of impacted tissues, which cause speech impairment

The outer integument of the prechondral skin is not overgrown with horny scales, so it is close to the structure of mammalian skin - it is delicate, about 0.1 mm thick. Inside the human bone cavity there is soft tissue - dentin. It is formed by a specific type of bone cell – osteoblasts. They contain the cell nucleus, their ultimate goal is the formation of bone tissue.

Dentin differentiates under the influence of environmental factors, gender and age characteristics, and the general condition of the body. The formation of bone tissue can also be suspended or, on the contrary, accelerated if the body needs to quickly form or increase the mass of the bone layer. This process is controlled by another type of cell - parochontal. They protect the body of the bone from damage. The point of contact between the parochont and the primary bone mass is called perichondrium or parochondrium.
