    Ohayo! This is the histology art I made for Connective tissues.
    • Hyaline cartilage provides mechanical support for the respiratory tree, nose, articular surfaces, and developing bones.

      Elastic cartilage has abundant elastic fibers in addition to collagen, making the matrix much more elastic than hyaline cartilage. It supports structures subjected to frequent deformation, including the larynx, epiglottis, and external ear.

      Fibrocartilage has features of both dense connective tissue (an abundance of thick collagen fibers) and cartilage (a prominent glycosaminoglycan matrix). It is tough and deformable, appropriate for its role in intervertebral disks and insertions of tendons.
