    Fibrocartilage is a particular type of connective tissue wherein the ground substance is cartilage. The fibrous and cartilaginous parts render this tissue extremely tough and versatile. The cell types found incorporates fibroblasts/cytes and chondroblasts/cytes. The matrix is to a great extent acidophilic due to the presence of large numbers of collagen (type I) fibers. The ground substance between the fibers is basophilic and contains chondroblasts/cytes within lacunae.

    Fibrocartilage is found in the menisci of the stifle joint, symphyses (e.g., the pelvic symphysis), the annulus fibrosis of the intervertebral discs, and where ligaments and tendons attach to hyaline cartilage surfaces of joints.
