1. Hyaline Cartilage
- Chondroblasts are seen in the cells
2. Elastic Cartilage
- We use another type of staining which
gives rise to the presence of elastic,
which is the darker stain comprising
the entirety of the tissue itself
- Elastic cartilage and hyaline cartilage
are essentially the same up until the
time that we use another special stain,
the elastic staining to visualize elastic
fibers; hence, you will be able to
differentiate elastic from hyaline
cartilage.
3. Fibrocartilage
- Another (blue) stain is used to
visualize numerous collagen fibers
