Having or relating to a composition or structure of both cartilage and bone.
From Greek chondros (cartilage) + osteon (bone) + -ous (full of). An adjectival form describing the mixed composition of tissues or structures.
Chondrosteous structures are found where bones and cartilage meet, like in joints and the rib cage, creating a transition zone that's flexible but still strong.
