What is prupose of calcified cartilage?
There is alot of sheer force exposed to cartilage The top 3 function layers can be deformed all this force is being transferred to the narrow osteochondral junction the calcified cartilage acts as a buffer it Spreads the sheer force along the subchondral bone (increase SA) enough to ensure that you don't delaminate you cartilage when you put a lot of sheer force on it

Where is the first sign of Tide mark?
at the tide mark
212
What is the tide mark representative of in relation to calcification?
The tide mark is the first point to find hydroxyapatite | therefore it is LOW in PG
213

The tide mark It is the first place to find hydroxyapaitite therefore it is calcified therefore it is low in PG
