Tissue Cartilaginous Fibrous

Cartilage fibrous tissue (cartilago fibrosa) is one of the types of cartilage tissue, which consists of collagen fibers and cartilage cells. It has high strength and elasticity, which makes it ideal for use in medicine and sports.

Cartilage tissue is an important component of the human body. It is found in various parts of the body such as the nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Thanks to its structure and properties, cartilage tissue allows us to breathe, speak, cough and make other sounds.

Cartilaginous fibrous tissue is also used in medicine for the manufacture of prostheses and implants. It has good biocompatibility and can be easily adapted to various tissue types. This makes it especially useful in replacing damaged or missing body parts.

In sports, cartilaginous fibrous tissue is used to create protective elements such as elbow pads, knee pads and chest protectors. It provides protection from impacts and injuries while maintaining flexibility and mobility for the athlete.

It is important to note that cartilage tissue cannot be restored on its own, so its loss can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to take care of your health and undergo regular medical examinations in order to identify possible problems with cartilage tissue in time.

Cartilaginous and bone tissues are connective tissues that form the skeleton, internal organs or appendages included in their composition. Accordingly, various areas of their implementation and structure are divided into fibrous (cartilaginous), spongy (bone), dense (air-bearing, pneumatic), etc.

Fibrous cartilage. Synthesized by bone marrow. They have limited growth, with spongy cartilage growing from the center, and lamellar cartilage growing along the periphery. They branch widely. They are not strong enough, they consist of plates separated by capillaries and lymphatic slits. Blood vessels and nerves usually do not come to the surface. Mechanical trauma causes a loose nodule (Hartmann's tumor).

The fibrous cartilaginous tissue outside the joints is located compactly. Usually connected to adjacent joints by an accessory ligament. This structure of cartilaginous tissue makes the joint a stabilizing formation. Congenital deformity leads to hypermobility of the joints and may result in dislocation. Avoid vigorous movements and do not wear loose clothes. It is useful to do special exercises to strengthen muscles.

Symmetrically located in the anterior and posterior semi-rings of the larynx (epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds, thyroepiglottic ligament), partially in the trachea, tracheobronchial tree. A feature of the architecture is its proximity to the respiratory tract. If the cartilaginous tissue begins to grow, the esophageal ducts are compressed under them, which is expressed by shortness of breath, wheezing, disorders of esophageal patency, and dysphagia (impaired swallowing of varying degrees). Therefore, it is important to differentiate these pathologies and undergo regular examinations. They produce wheezing because air passes between the plates. The thicker the plates, the stronger and more pronounced the wheezing. If the patient has difficulty coughing (reflexively), this may indicate life-threatening pathological processes, for example, a tracheotomy foreign body, excessive hemorrhage, compression of the mediastinum,
