White fibro cartilage is a combination of dense collagenous fibers and cartilage cells. The cells are surrounded by capsules which in turn are surrounded by variable amounts of matrix.
Frequently, the cells enclosed in capsules, lie in rows between which are dense wavy bundles of collagenous fibres.
Fibrous cartilage occurs in intervertebral, discs, interarticular cartilage, the glenoid and cotyloid ligaments and the ligamentum teres of the femur.
It is bound at certain attachment of the ligaments or tendons to bone.
