a cartilaginous tumour
Cartilaginous intra-articular bodies float freely within the synovial fluid, which they require for nutrition and growth.
Instead of true vertebrae, they have a series of cartilaginous structures called arcualia arranged above the notochord.
The lateral plate cells produce the cartilaginous and skeletal portions of the limb while the myotome cells produce the muscle components.
Its ribcage was not strengthened by ossified uncinate processes but cartilaginous processes were likely present.
Ureotelic organisms include cartilaginous fish, some bony fish, adult amphibians, and mammals, among others.
The bony fish have three pairs of arches, cartilaginous fish have five to seven pairs, while the primitive jawless fish have seven.
The skeleton, which forms the support structure inside the fish, is either made of cartilage, in cartilaginous fish, or bone in bony fish.
In cartilaginous and lobe-finned fishes and also in amphibians, a more complex structure is present, with the cerebrum being divided into three distinct regions.
