27 paź 2020 · Cartilage is a supple tissue which allows for facial movement as well as providing a lightweight supportive structure in the external ear, and the tip and septum of the nose. In other regions it acts as a shock absorber, cushioning areas where bone meets bone and preventing abrasion and damage.
24 maj 2022 · Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock absorber throughout your body. Cartilage at the end of your bones reduces friction and prevents them from rubbing together when you use your joints.
In addition to its role in load-bearing joints, cartilage serves a crucial function as a gradient material between softer tissues and bone. Mechanical gradients are crucial for your body’s function, and for complex artificial structures including joint implants.
17 paź 2022 · Cartilage has many functions, including the ability to resist compressive forces, enhance bone resilience, and provide support in bony areas where flexibility is needed (see Image. Cartilage and Bone Illustration).
30 paź 2023 · The main function of the articular cartilage is to provide an optimal surface for enabling movement in the joint. More specifically, it prevents friction between the bones and facilitates the transmission of loads to the underlying bone.
This study summarizes AC composition, structure, and function through different stages of AC development and growth which are of great importance to the tissue regeneration and tissue engineering approaches.
