c) Fibrocartilage. Note that at the insertion of tendon on the surface of
bone, Dense Regular CT blends into the cartilage. Thus, at this zone of
transition there is a gradation from dense fibrous tissue of the tendon
through calcified fibrocartilage to bone. The amount of fibrocartilage may
vary in specific sites according to the differing stresses. For example, the
lateral menisci of the knee-joint have more fibrocartilage than the medial
because there is more movement in the former.
