Growth of cartilage. Unlike bone, which has a hard matrix, cartilage has a flexible matrix which can accommodate mitosis. It is the ideal tissue to use to rapidly lay down the embryonic skeleton and to provide for new skeletal growth.Cartilage grows in two ways.heir chondrocytes are spherical, and the only fiber type in their matrix is fine collagen fibers. Skeletal hyaline cartilages include. 1  Articular cartilages, which cover the ends of most bones at movable joints. 2  Costal cartilages, which connect the ribs to the sternum (breastbone).
