Question
10. TRACHEA: Cartilage is considered a (circle one: fluid, loose, dense, semisolid/solid) connective tissue. Cartilages have a special protein in their ECM called chondromucoprotein that makes them strong but still flexible. Cartilage cells excrete this protein and then live in holes in it called Hyaline cartilage is the most common of the 3 cartilages and is found supporting the tubes of the respiratory tract (nasal septum, laryngeal cartilage, tracheal cartilage, bronchial cartilage). It does not have fibers in its protein matrix and therefore has a "glassy" appearance. Draw what you see. ie Dividing chondrocyte in lacunae Chondromu -protien
