Fig 1. 93W3265 Hyaline Cartilage, H&E.
Hyaline cartilage (HC) is the most common type of cartilage
though the whole body and is also found in the bronchi (as
shown here). In the wall of the bronchus, the cartilaginous
plates are arranged into flattened, discontinuous plates. The
cartilaginous plates are surrounded by the perichondrium (P).
