| mandibular cartilage | A cartilage bar in the mandibular arch that forms a temporary supporting structure in the embryonic mandible; the cartilagenous primordia of the malleus and incus develop from its proximal end, and it also gives rise to the sphenomandibular and anterior malleolar ligaments. Synonym: Meckel's cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |

| parachordal cartilage | Cartilage primordia adjacent on either side to the cephalic portion of the notochord in young embryos; they represent an initial step in the formation of the chondrocranium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraseptal cartilage | A narrow strip of cartilage located between the lower edge of the cartilage of the nasal septum and the vomer. Synonym: Jacobson's cartilage, paraseptal cartilage, vomer cartilagineus, vomerine cartilage, vomeronasal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parenchymatous cartilage | An embryonic or immature stage of cartilage in which it consists chiefly of cells with very little matrix. Synonym: parenchymatous cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage | <pathology> Connective tissue dominated by extracellular matrix containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulphate. Cartilage is more flexible and compressible than bone and often serves as an early skeletal framework, becoming mineralised as the animal ages. Cartilage is produced by chondrocytes that come to lie in small lacunae surrounded by the matrix they have secreted. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cartilage bone | A bone that develops in a cartilage environment after the latter is partially or entirely destroyed by calcification and subsequent resorption. Synonym: cartilage bone, replacement bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage capsule | The more intensely basophilic matrix in hyaline cartilage surrounding the lacunae in which the cartilage cells lie. Synonym: territorial matrix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage cell | <pathology> Differentiated cell responsible for secretion of extracellular matrix of cartilage. (15 Jan 1998) |
| cartilage-hair hypoplasia | An autosomal recessive form of dwarfism characterised by shortness of the extremities without skull defects, and with sparse, brittle hair of light colour. There is a peculiar, not adequately explained severity in the clinical course of varicella and herpes in such patients. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage knife | A very stiff scalpel-shaped knife used in cutting cartilage. Synonym: cartilage knife, ecchondrotome. Origin: chondro-+ G. Tome, cutting (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage lacuna | A cavity within the matrix of cartilage, occupied by a chondrocyte. Synonym: cartilage space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage matrix | The intercellular substance of cartilage consisting of fibres and ground substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage of acoustic meatus | The cartilage that forms the wall of the lateral part of the external acoustic meatus. It is incomplete above and is firmly attached to the margins of the bony part of the external meatus. Synonym: cartilago meatus acustici, meatal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage of auditory tube | Cartilage of auditory tube or of pharyngotympanic tube; tubal cartilage; the trough-shaped cartilage that forms the medial wall, roof, and part of the lateral wall of the auditory tube. Synonym: cartilago tubae auditivae, cartilage of pharyngotympanic tube, tubal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cartilage of ear | The cartilage of the auricle. Synonym: cartilago auriculae, cartilage of ear, conchal cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
