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.
Chondrocytes are mature cells found in cartilage. They make up the cellular matrix of cartilage, performing a number of functions within the tissue, including facilitating the exchange of fluids through the gelatinous layers. Because cartilage lacks vascularization, it relies on this exchange to receive nutrients and express waste materials.
