    Histology Art: Connective Tissues
    • Bone (osseous) tissue is the structural and supportive connective tissue of the body that forms the rigid part of the bones that make up the skeleton. Overall, the bones of the body are an organ made up of bone tissue, bone marrow, blood vessels, epithelium, and nerves. Bone exerts important functions in the body, such as locomotion, support and protection of soft tissues, calcium and phosphate storage, and harboring of bone marrow. There are two types of bone tissue: compact and spongy. The names imply that the two types differ in density, or how tightly the tissue is packed together.
        • Hyaline cartilage tissue (also referred to as hyaline connective tissue or hyaline tissue) is a type of a cartilage tissue. It is the most common type of cartilage characterized by a glossy and smooth appearance.
            • Fibrocartilage is a particular type of connective tissue wherein the ground substance is cartilage. The fibrous and cartilaginous parts render this tissue extremely tough and versatile. The cell types found incorporates fibroblasts/cytes and chondroblasts/cytes. The matrix is to a great extent acidophilic due to the presence of large numbers of collagen (type I) fibers. The ground substance between the fibers is basophilic and contains chondroblasts/cytes within lacunae.

              Fibrocartilage is found in the menisci of the stifle joint, symphyses (e.g., the pelvic symphysis), the annulus fibrosis of the intervertebral discs, and where ligaments and tendons attach to hyaline cartilage surfaces of joints.
