2 co-existing ways that cartilage grows

This growth occurs at the edges of cartilaginous structures

This type of growth happens within the cartilage matrix. Existing chondrocytes undergo several mitotic divisions

What are isogenous groups?

T/F Fibrocartilage has a perichondrium cover

T/F Cartilage has vascular, so it has high repair capability
