thread_title: Dec 20 rewrite

message: A question, why does this subsection about firbocartilage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage#Fibrocartilage, and this subsection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage#Fibrocartilage_2, have almost the same points rewritten?
I'd edit it myself but my knowledge on this subject isn't strong enough. -- Tylerttts 17:30 , 12 Jun 2005 (GMT)
: I just stumbled on this duplication, too, which obviously has gone unnoticed (?) for over 9 (nine) months. I'll see if I find out about some central page "articles in need of brushing up" or some other to-do-list to draw the attention of a competent writer. — Nol Aders 09:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Questioning the Doubled section

message: I may do some more research into this bit, but thought I'd remove it to here for discussion and safekeeping in case either is warranted.
"It has been said that the cartilage in ears and noses continues to grow in size throughout adult life; however, this seems to be an urban myth which is not substantiated by research.
The cartilage in the ears and nose DO begin to grow with age as the production of sex hormones lowers."

message: This was on the article page.  I'm putting it here in case there's something to be done about it, 'though that seems unlikely.
Hey everyone,
i need the organelles and their structure and function. so if u could do me a favor, and add those to this article. not that its really going to help becaues i have to do my presentaion in biology tomorrow. but for futher reference people might need that information. so if u could please so that.
please 
&& 
thankss

thread_title:  Bit removed from article page 

message: I reverted a multitude of edits made in the last week by various editors, mainly anonymous. Their aim was to turn this basic science article into another Articular cartilage damage and Articular cartilage repair article. Sorry if your useful contribution was deleted in the process. Please re-introduce it. Emmanuelm (talk) 15:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Reversion of recent edits

message: okay i dont understand this page i mean its realy good but i wanna know wht the pupose or job of cartilage in the bone is. i know that it is a flezible tissue bu is less flexible then a muscle. i am doing a science project and need to know. this page doesnt tell me  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.194.168.159 (talk) 15:24, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this article badly needs TLC.  Your question about the role of cartilage in bone is a bit unclear.  Cartilage is often present on the ends of bones (inside your joints) where it forms a spongy cushion to help absorb shock.  Some bones in your body (such as the long bones of your arms and legs) originally start out as cartilage 'templates' or anlagens.  These are eventually replaced by bone tissue in a process called endochondral ossification.  Hope that's some help at least.  Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  ? what is cartilage? 

message: Can information be added to the article on the negative effects of regular cycling on cartilage in the knee joints? Does long-term regular cycling permanently or temporarily wear out the cartilage? Wsmss (talk) 13:37, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Negative health effects of cycling? 

message: I want to point out a certain article: Can Cartilage Heal?
The article describes a study which showed that cartilage was able to heal completely, albeit slowly.
Maybe the ability of cartilage to heal should be investigated further.

replies: text: Indeed, cartilage has the ability to heal; however, its avascular nature greatly increases time for regeneration to take place. --Jelly Bean MD (talk) 01:26, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cartilage: Healing ability 

message: Should we add a section on livestock cartilage here? Sure, it may deserve its own article, but since it is related to the topic of cartilage, we might as well add that here. That way, people can get an idea that cartilage can actually be eaten. SSS (talk) 00:14, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recipes based on cartilage? 

message: Meniscus (Anatomy) says the meniscus is made of Fibrocartilaginous material. It also says "The blood flow of the meniscus is from the periphery (outside) to the central meniscus. Blood flow decreases with age and the central meniscus is avascular by adulthood, leading to very poor healing rates." Cartilage says "Cartilage does not contain blood vessels (it is avascular) or nerves (it is aneural)." It seems there is conflict between Meniscus )anatomy) and Cartilage and that either: 
1.the statement in cartilage needs qualification or change or removal, or
2.clarification that a structure of fibrocartilaginous material like the Menisucs(Anatomy) is not considered Cartilage.
I believe the correct response is as in 1. above.
There may also need to be similar thought about whether the same problem exists in relation to nerves in Cartilage dinghy (talk) 00:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
