FIGURE 7.5 | Hyaline Cartilage: Developing Bone
A photomicrograph of a section through a developing bone shows a portion of
the hyaline cartilage and its homogenous matrix (1). Located within the matrix
(1) are the mature hyaline cartilage cells, the chondrocytes (3) in their lacunae
(2). Surrounding the hyaline cartilage is the dense perichondrium (5). On the
inner surface of the perichondrium (5) is the chondrogenic layer (4). The more
central cells in the cartilage appear as rounded chondrocytes, whereas the
peripheral cells are flattened and appear as typical chondroblasts.
