Turkish - English

Definition of kıkırdak, cartilago in Turkish English dictionary

(Tıp) cartilage

A type of dense, non-vascular connective tissue, usually found at the end of joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks

elastic tissue that is transformed into bone

A translucent, elastic tissue; gristle

is a tough, resilient tissue that covers and cushions the ends of the bones and absorbs shock

A durable tissue that covers and cushions the ends of bones and absorbs shock

Cartilage is a strong, flexible substance in your body, especially around your joints and in your nose. a serious knee cartilage injury. a strong substance that can bend, which is around the joints in your body and in your outer ear (cartilago). Connective tissue in parts of the human skeleton. A network of collagen fibres in a firm, gelatinous base, it contains no blood vessels or nerves. Different types of cartilage are found at the ends of some bones and in nasal and respiratory structures; in the spinal disks; and in the ear and epiglottis (back of the throat). Most of the skeleton of an embryo is made of cartilage, which is later replaced by bone

Dense connective tissue that covers the joint surfaces of bones

A flexible connective tissue that is an important part of most of the skeleton and that calcifies at various stages of growth

A firm, flexible connective tissue structure composed of chondrocytes and a specialized extracellular matrix that lacks a blood vessel system

tough elastic tissue; mostly converted to bone in adults

a smooth material that covers bone ends of a joint to cushion the bone and allow the joint to move easily without pain

a connective tissue that covers the ends of bones in a joint

The smooth "gristle" that covers the bone ends of an articulating surface of bone in a joint Allows joint move easily and allows for very low friction movement

— Connective tissue containing collagen type II and large amounts of proteoglycan, particularly chondroitin sulphate Cartilage is more flexible and compressible than bone; it covers the articular surfaces (bone ends )

Connective tissue found between bones that allows joints to move smoothly Cartilage is also important in your nose and ear

Inside healthy joints, the ends of the bones are covered with a tough tissue called cartilage This cartilage is smooth and slick, so the bones can move easily

A type of dense connective tissue, usually found at the end of joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks

Cartilage is the material that covers the bones It is also one of the materials out of which the ears, the nose and the trachea are made

{i} gristle, tough flexible tissue (part of the skeletal structure)

The translucent and elastic tissue that composes most of the skeletal system during the early years of growth and development and eventually converts to bone Cartilage then becomes an important player in keeping bone flexible
