Hyaline Cartilage

1
Hyaline Cartilage
Clear, glassy matrix fine dispersed collagen
fibers Chondrocytes in small clusters and
enclosed in lacunae Surrounds ends of bones at
movable joints and sternal ends of ribs
Supportive material in larynx,
trachea,bronchi, and skeleton of embryos.

Elastic Cartilage

• Elastic cartilage with weblike mesh of elastic
  fibers amongst the lacunae always has
  perichondrium
• Provides flexible, elastic support
• External ear and epiglottis

Muscle Tissue

• Elongated cells that respond to stimuli by
  contracting
• Function exert physical force on other tissues
• move hand, push blood through a vessel, expel
  urine, etc.
• Important source of body heat
• 3 histological types of muscle
• skeletal, cardiac and smooth
