Term
| Pathology behind Rheumatoid Arthritis |
|
Definition
| Inflamation of the synovial membrane due to WBC and cytokine recruitment. Causes the thickening of the synovial membrane. This reduces the motion of the joint and recruits metalleoproteases which degrade bone and cartilage. |

|
|
Definition
Litterally means "Growth Next To:"
In perichordium, the outer fibrous layer has Type I Collogen Fibroblasts, which differentiate into chondrogenic in the inner cellular layer. These become chondroblasts and then chondrocytes (once entrapped in a Lacunae) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| Occurs when chondrocytes in Lacunae undergo mitosis, which produce a new matrix. |
