MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage exists 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 definite but pliable form. The presence of collagen fibres makes such structures and joints strong, but with limited mobility and flexibility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage provides structural support in the respiratory system (larynx, trachea and bronchi). The airway of the trachea is held open by cartilaginous rings of hyaline cartilage: Perichondrium-a layer of dense irregular connective tissue that surrounds cartilage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyaline-most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyaline cartilage is found in the synovial joints and assists the motion of joints. It is composed of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix. Chondrocytes plays a major role in the organization of extracellular matrix, which is responsible for the biomechanical properties of cartilage tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rings of cartilage are present in the trachea to prevent its collapse when the air is not passing through it. The cartilage is a flexible connective tissue, and it supports the trachea while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing.
