What's the difference between cartilage and synchondrosis?
Cartilage
Definition:
(n.) A translucent, elastic tissue; gristle.
Example Sentences:
(1) The fibrous matrix and cartilage formed within the nonunion site transformed to osteoid and bone with increased vascularity.

(12) The buccal glands of adults of the Southern Hemisphere lamprey Geotria australis consist of a pair of small, bean-shaped, hollow sacs, embedded within the basilaris muscle in the region below the eyes and to either side of the piston cartilage.
(13) These observations suggest that the function of BMG is to evoke mesenchymal cell differentiation into prechondroblasts during the latent or migratory morphogenetic phase while the effect of the culture medium is to provide the bionutritional requirements for synthesis of hyaline cartilage matrix by chondrocytes during the patent phase of development.
(14) The cartilage of the concha is a valuable substitute of the bridge and the posterior wall of the external auditory conduct.
(15) the synovium has a) a direct, presumably enzymatic action on cartilage matrix and b) an indirect effect mediated through the chondrocytes.
(16) New insights into the biochemical and cell-biological alterations occurring in articular cartilage during the early phase of osteoarthrosis (OA) have been gained in the past decade by analysing experimentally induced osteoarthrosis in animals, mostly dogs and rabbits, while early phases of OA in humans so far have escaped diagnostic evaluation.
(17) The use of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the cyanogen bromide derived peptides from fibrous cartilage collagens enabled to calculate type I to type II collagen ratio in this tissue.
(18) After transplantation chondrocytes from regenerated cartilage reconstructed cartilage in one out of ten transplants.
(19) Chemically isolated separate preparations of the non-aggregating protein-chondroitin-keratin sulphate (PCKS) fraction from the hyaline cartilage and hyaluronic acid (HUA) of the vitreous body and of the umbilicus were investigated by electron microscopy.
(20) Standard methods of glycosaminoglycan separation were used to confirm the presence of hyaluronic acid in sheep and rabbit articular cartilage.
Synchondrosis
Definition:
(n.) An immovable articulation in which the union is formed by cartilage.
Example Sentences:
(1) The submental artery passed forwards along the inferior margin of the mandible, giving off the digastric and the mylohyoid branches, up to the intermandibular synchondrosis, where it anastomosed with the opposite fellow after giving off the genioglossal branch.
(2) Marked cupping at the basioccipital-exoccipital synchondrosis was observed in three.
(3) Around the time of puberty the pneumatization usually penetrates up to the spheno-occipital synchondrosis.
(4) Microradiographical and histological investigations showed that the cranial base lordosis was more pronounced in the MAM rats than in the controls, and that the width of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis was reduced mainly due to reduction in the central zone.
(5) The immunohistochemical localization of types I and II collagen was examined in the following 4 cartilaginous tissues of the rat craniofacial region: the nasal septal cartilage and the spheno-occipital synchondrosis (primary cartilages), and the mandibular condylar cartilage and the cartilage at the intermaxillary suture (secondary cartilages).
(6) The canal represents the impression left by the remnants of the sphenoidal synchondrosis between the presphenoid and postsphenoid.
(7) Surgical treatment consists of excision of the accessory navicular with its synchondrosis, without transposition of the posterior tibial tendon.
(8) Their most frequent location is the skull base (76.19%), and more precisely the middle cranial fossa, as they arise from the spheno-occipital synchondrosis.
(9) Plain radiography reveals an accessory navicular united to the navicular by a synchondrosis (Type II).
(10) This is a case report of a tarsal coalition involving a bilateral symmetrical synchondrosis of the navicular first cuneiform bones in a 37-year-old Hispanic man.
(11) The sphenoidal and occipital pole of the synchondrosis showed equal growth potential.
(12) Sexual difference in the relative growth of this synchondrosis resulted in a longer and somewhat flatter male cranial base.
(13) A causality between the synchondrosis and the occasionally observed subdivisions of the articular surface in the adult does not exist.
(14) It appears to be the fused S-E synchondrosis and not necessarily the premature closure of the coronal sutures that may tether the midface posteriorly.
(15) The measurements showed a change in the ratio of the dorso-ventral to the transversal diameter in the lumen after obliteration of the dorsal synchondrosis.
(16) Observations made were rupture of intervertebral disk at the crossing of cervical to thoracic vertebrae followed by syndesmosis or synchondrosis resp., as well as a comminuted fracture of the 1st lumbar vertebra including both the adjoining vertebrae, with succeeding reactive callus formation.
(17) Strikingly short posterior cranial base length was interpreted as resulting from hypoplasia of bone that is preformed in cartilage with possible early closure of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis.
(18) Due to the ossification the synchondrosis subdivides into different cartilage regions.
(19) The chondro-osseous border of the synchondrosis may be injured either as a chronic stress fracture or, less frequently, as an acute fracture, comparable to the injury patterns involving the accessory navicular.
