English to Italian Medical Medical (general) anatomia

Qui si parla della struttura della cartilagine ialina.
The cartilage cells (chondrocytes) form an extra cellular matrix from proteoglycans (water binding) and collagen fi brils.
The latter are aligned in the joint cartilage and form arcades (BENNINGHOFF's arcade scheme), which can be divided into different zones (tangential fi bre zone, transition zone and radial zone).
The tide mark forms the border between non-mineralised and mineralised cartilage (mineralisation zone).
The joint cartilage is fi xed to the subchondral bone, forms a smooth surface and reduces friction between the joint bodies.
It distributes the pressure on the subchondral bone.
