Hyaline cartilage

Connective tissues. Cartilage - Hyaline, elastic, fibrocartilage

This tissue is hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is characterized by chondroblasts within a lacuna and a large amount of white space. is avascular, which makes it hard to repair. It is rubbery and rigid and can be found in the nose or trachea.

Hyaline cartilage is a type of supportive connective and is characterizd by no vascularity, chondroblast within a lacuna, and white space. Because of its avascular property, hyaline cartilage is extremely difficult to repair. Because of its rubbery and rigid qualities, it aids in holding airways open in respiration, easing joint movements, and moving vocal cords. It also functions as a precursor in bone formation (see chapter 7). One can find hyaline cartilage in the nose or trachea.

found in the ends of bones and in the trachea. this cartilage provides support and flexibility. you can identify these by looking for a group of lacunae surrounded by smooth collagenous and elastic fibers.
