Hyaline cartilage is found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea. Tissue type has widely dispersed fine collagen fibres (type II), which strengthen it. Its primary function is to provide some cushioning and minimize friction between the bone ends.
Bone is a connective tissue containing cells, fibers and ground substance. Among the several functions, the main function provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs.
Reticular tissue is a connective tissue that predominates in various locations that have a high cellular content. It has a branched and mesh-like pattern, often called reticulum, due to the arrangement of reticular fibers (reticulin). The main function of the tissue is to form a stroma and provide structural support.
