Biology

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue formed of two types of cells, chondrocytes and chondroblasts, and an abundant, highly specialized and vascular extracellular matrix. It is a good tissue of choice because it has the function of supporting soft tissue (tracheal rings, for example), lining the joint surfaces of bones, and promoting the formation and growth of long bones.

Hyaline cartilage is the most common cartilage in the human body. It has a cool translucent bluish-white color and is responsible for the formation of the temporary skeleton in fetal development until this skeleton is replaced by bone tissue. Found mainly supporting the nasal passages, the trachea, and the bronchi, at the ventral end of the ribs and covering the articular surfaces of the long bones.

nikdorinn [45]

In 1838, a German botanist, M.I.Schleiden studied the plant cells and emphasized that "cells are organisms and entire animals and plants are aggregations of these organisms arranged according to definite laws. "In 1839, another German zoologist T. Schwann stated "we have seen that all organisms are composed of essentially like parts namely of cells." The deductions of the two microscopists (Schleiden and Schwann) formed the basis of what came to be known as the cell theory. The cell theory holds that all living matter, from the simplest of unicellular organisms to very complex higher plants and animals, is composed of cells and that each cell can act independently but functions as an integral part of the complete organism.
