It well supplied by blood vessels

Home Blood Cartilage Connective Tissue Proper

It is a tough, but flexible material

The matrix consists of 80% water

Chondroblasts are the cells used for cartilage growth

Home Hyaline Elastic Cartilage Fibrocartilage

Most common type of cartilage

Contains large amounts of collagen fibers

It covers the ends of long bones

Home Elastic Cartilage Fibrocartilage

Very similar to hyaline cartilage

Has an exceptional strength and stretching ability

Forms the support of the external ear and the epiglottis

Home Hyaline Fibrocartilage

Composed of thick rows of collagen fibers and chondrocytes

Compressible and resists pressure easily

Located in areas such as in the discs of the knee joint and in the intervertebral discs

It forms an internal framework

Located in the lymphoid organs

Home Areolar Adipose Dense Regular Dense Irregular

They are composed to adipocytes

They are used for many different functions

Creates about 18% of an average human’s body

Home Areolar Reticular Dense Regular Dense Irregular

Consists mostly of fibers

They can withstand great tension being pulled in one general direction

They form the body’s tendons

Home Areolar Adipose Reticular Dense Regular

The bundles are arranged irregularly

It covers areas such as the skin’s dermis and the capsules of organs and joints

They can withstand tension from many different directions
