a: Glycosaminoglycan ~
b: mortar between the bricks

What: "As an analogy, the collagen fibers are like the bricks of the cartilage structure and the glycosaminoglycans are like the mortar between the bricks. Not only does glucosamine sulfate supplementation stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, but it also stimulates the synthesis of collagen by chondrocytes."
