2. chondroblasts-immature cartilage cells. Secrete extracellular matrix, but are not yet rigidly embedded in that matrix. 3. chondrocytes-mature cartilage cells that are embedded in rigid extracellular matrix. These cells reside in small spaces within the matrix that are called lacunae.
Chondroblasts, or perichondrial cells, is the name given to mesenchymal progenitor cells in situ which, from endochondral ossification, will form chondrocytes in the growing cartilage matrix. Another name for them is subchondral cortico-spongious progenitors. They have euchromatic nuclei and stain by basic dyes.
