GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The connective tissue is specialized for resisting compression is cartilage tissue. This specialized function of cartilage is due to the composition of extracellular matrix (glycosaminoglycans, collagen, and proteoglycans), and also its ability to limit the permeability of water during compression.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrocartilage. This is a blend of hyaline cartilage and dense regular connective tissue. Because it is compressible and resists tension well, fibrocartilage is found where strong support and the ability to withstand heavy pressure are required.

Detailed explanation-3: -Supportive connective tissue-bone and cartilage-provide structure and strength to the body and protect soft tissues. A few distinct cell types and densely packed fibers in a matrix characterize these tissues.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cartilage is a non-vascular type of supporting connective tissue that is found throughout the body . Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that differs from bone in several ways; it is avascular and its microarchitecture is less organized than bone.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hyaluronan is another glycosaminoglycan and is the primary compression-resisting component of connective tissue.
