TECIDO CARTILAGINOSO | Histologia

#histology #biomedicine #medicine Cartilage is an avascular connective tissue formed by chondrocytes and a very abundant and specialized extracellular matrix. This matrix, rich in type II collagen and glycosaminoglycans, gives firmness, elasticity, and resistance to the tissue, in addition to allowing the diffusion of nutrients to the cells.
