block6-1_07.jpg - Fig 2. 93W3265 Hyaline Cartilage, H&E.This figure shows a higher-magnification micrograph of a hyalinecartilage with its perichondrium (P). The cartilage appears as anavascular expanse of matrix material and a population of cellscalled chondrocytes (Cc). The chondrocytes produce the matrix;the space each chondrocyte occupies is called a lacuna (L).Hyaline cartilage is surrounded by a thin layer of denseconnective tissue, the perichondrium. The perichondrium servesas a source of new chondrocytes during appositional growth ofthe cartilage. Chondrocytes also undergo interstitial growth inlacunae and form isogenous groups (IP). The chondrocytesproduce the cartilage matrix that shows the dark-staining capsuleor territorial matrix (TM) immediately surrounding the lacunae.The interterritorial matrix (IM) is more removed from theimmediate vicinity of chondrocytes and is less intensely stained.
