Elastic Cartilage Conective Tissue
Elastic cartilage is very similar to hyaline cartilage. It has a matrix of type II collagen fibers wrapped in a pericondrium that contains
chondroblasts. The cells of elastic cartilage are likewise found in lacuna. However, elastic cartilage will also have
visable elastic fibers in it. It is found in areas that need recoil such as in the epiglottis and ear
