Best Answer
Chondrocytes (from Greek chondros cartilage + kytos cell) are the only cells found in cartilage. They produce and maintain the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and proteoglycans. Although chondroblast is still commonly used to describe an immature chondrocyte, use of the term is discouraged, for it is technically inaccurate since the progenitor of chondrocytes (which are mesenchymal stem cells) can also differentiate into osteoblasts. The organization of chondrocytes within cartilage differs depending upon the type of cartilage and where in the tissue they are found.

I don't understand why you can't google this or read it in a book. This question is of no value to us. We use this site mainly to communicate and chat with one another. The sharing of information is not our primary concern, it's more about getting to know each other and make friends. So please do stick around but ask questions that we can all answer and join in the fun. Have a lovely evening.

I really think you should either be looking on the internet or in the textbook- the answers we give here will more than likely be off the internet anyway.
