The difference between hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage is mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1. different composition, although these cartilages are due to chondrocytes and the surrounding cartilage matrix, but the collagen fibers in hyaline cartilage are relatively less, while the collagen fibers in elastic cartilage are greatly increased, making it tougher. 2. different physicochemical properties, hyaline cartilage tends to have a certain degree of elasticity, and The surface is relatively smooth. The opposite is true for fibrous cartilage, which is tougher and has a relatively rough surface. 3, the distribution of the area is different, with hyaline cartilage generally on the surface of the joints, or in some of the cavities in the body, such as the cartilage in the trachea or in the ribs. In contrast, fibrocartilage is in some parts of the body that require long-term pressure, such as the intervertebral disc, meniscus, or the interior of the pubic symphysis.4. Different roles, hyaline cartilage is mainly distributed in the interior of the joint to reduce friction inside the joint, in addition to protecting some of the internal organs of the cavity. Fibrocartilage is mainly responsible for weight-bearing, reducing the vibration inside the joint, and increasing the stability of the joint.
