    • Externally, hyaline cartilage is protected by the perichondrium, also known as the synovial membrane, when it runs along articulating surfaces. Capillaries in this membrane give nourishment to the cartilage through diffusion
        • The major components of hyaline cartilage matrix are type II collagen and chondroitin sulphate, which are also found in elastic cartilage.
            • Hyaline cartilage can be found on the sternal ends of the ribs, in the larynx, trachea, and bronchi, and on the articulating surfaces of bones. It gives the structures a solid but flexible aspect. Collagen fibers provide such structures and joints strength, but they also limit mobility and flexibility.

          Multipolar neurons have dendrites that allow them to take impulses from many neurons. Dendrites communicate across the neuron via an electrical signal that travels down the axon. Motor neurons are the most common type of nerve cell body plan: they are multipolar, with one axon and several dendrites.
          • GIANT MULTIPOLAR NEURON
            Three or more processes are associated with the cell bodies of multipolar neurons. The axon transports electrical impulses (action potentials)…

              Cardiac muscle cells form a highly branched cellular network in the heart. They are composed of myocardial tissue layers that wrap around the chambers of the heart and are linked end to end by intercalated disks

                To meet the metabolic demands of peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscles, kidneys, brain, skin, liver, heart, and gastrointestinal tract, the cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute) fluctuates.

                    The heart is mostly composed of cardiac muscle cells (or myocardium). Two of its most noticeable characteristics are the contractility of the heart, which serves as the foundation for its pumping function, and the rhythmicity of the contraction

                          Cardiac muscle differs from skeletal muscle in that it contracts on a regular basis and lacks voluntary control. The sinoatrial node, which serves as the heart’s pacemaker, regulates the rhythmic contraction of cardiac muscle

                                • Cardiac muscle, also known as myocardium, is one of three primary muscle groups found solely in the heart in vertebrates. Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, has contractile units known as sarcomeres, which distinguishes it from smooth muscle, the third muscle type.
