Elastic cartilage contains, in addition to collagen, fibers of the protein elastin. This makes it firm yet supple, giving support, for example, to the external ear and epiglottis.
Fibrocartilage is made up of tightly packed bundles of collagen fibers, making it resilient and able to withstand compression. Fibrocartilage lies, for example, between vertebrae.

types of bone cancer
Types of bone cancer
Mostly when someone with cancer in the bones this is called metastatic cancer. It can be seen in many types of advanced cancer such as breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. When these types of cancer in the bones are examined under the microscope, the tissue change observed. For example, if someone has lung cancer that has spread to bones, the cancer cells in bone are still and act as cells of lung cancer. They did not look or behave like cells from bone cancer, even if they are in the bones. Because these cells also act as cancer cells of lung cancer, they still need to be treated with drugs that are used for lung cancer.

cartilage 3 types
Cartilage, unlike other types of connective tissue, has no blood vessels. It is tough but pliant because the ground substance between the cells contains combinations of proteins and sugars. Cartilage is described as hyaline, fibrous or elastic, depending on the density and type of fibers present in its composition. Hyaline, the most abundant type of cartilage, is clear and glassy, with few cells and fibers in the ground substance. Hyaline covers the ends of bones at the joints, and also forms the rings which keep the trachea open. Fibrocartilage is made up of tightly packed bundles of collagen fibers, making it resilient and able to withstand compression. Fibrocartilage lies, for example, between vertebrae. Elastic cartilage contains, in addition to collagen, fibers of the protein elastin. This makes it firm yet supple, giving support, for example, to the external ear and epiglottis.
fibrous cartilaginous tissue
fibrous cartilaginous tissue: intervertebral disc
it is characterized by:
* not possess perichondrium
* holds smaller chondrocytes
* there are few chondrocytes
* have plenty matrix rich in collagen fibers
Chondrocytes were found in their condroplasts.
cartilaginous tissues
Cartilaginous tissues: Hyaline is characterized by:
* perichondrium
* homogeneous matrix
* chondrocytes are prepared individually or in groups.
* the chondrocytes are of a size in between.
The perichondrium has two layers.
cartilages and cartilage structures
Cartilaginous is a kind of tissue which is hyaline, trachea characteristics.
The hyaline cartilage is characterized by:
* perichondrium
* Matrix structure
* Chondrocytes are prepared individually or in groups.
* size of chondrocytes
The perichondrium has two layers: fibrous layer (collagen fibers, fibroblasts) and condrogena layer which is contains condroblasts.
