block6-1_09.jpg - Fig 3. 93W3267 Cartilage, Composite, verhoff (left) H&E (right).There are two sections in this slide (inset): upper one is elasticcartilage and lower one is hyaline cartilage. These sections aretaken from young, growing cartilages and both of them aresurrounded by the perichondrium (P). The mainly distinguishedfeature of hyaline and elastic cartilages is the elastic fibers (E),which are only found in elastic cartilage. The commonhistological structure of elastic cartilage is similar to that ofhyaline cartilage, its elasticity, however, being derived from thepresence of numerous bundles of branching elastic fibres in thecartilage matrix.
