Chondrocytes, which comprise the only cellular component of articular cartilage, have different morphologies ranging from more flattened at the surface to rounder and larger in the deeper zones.
Chocolate truffles are a dessert delicacy that began in Europe. They are mainly made of ganache (a chocolate based cream) and some type of coating. This coating can be in the form of cocoa powder, solid chocolate that is dark, milk or white, or some sort of confection.
A truffle is the fruiting body of a subterranean Ascomycete fungus, predominantly one of the many species of the genus Tuber. Truffles are ectomycorrhizal fungi and are therefore usually found in close association with tree roots. Spore dispersal is accomplished through fungivores, animals that eat fungi.
