Chondroid is the medial term for cartilage. For example, osteochrondritis is the medical term for inflammation of the cartilage connected to bones (i.e. osteo = bone, chrondriod = cartilage,...itis = inflammation.)

Chondroid refers to cartilage. Cartilage is a tissue that is softer than bone, but contains calcium. It lines joints, and it generally does not regenerate when damaged.
