    Glossary Chondrocytes

    specialized cells that produce and maintain cartilage tissue

    Chondrocytes are specialized cells found in cartilage, a flexible connective tissue in the body. They produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix, which consists of collagen and proteoglycans, essential for the tissue's structure and function.
