    8.4   Hyaline cartilage and perichondrium Version française
Higher magnification of the framed area in Figure 8.3 showing the edge of a cartilage plate.

In the hyaline cartilage, the poorly fixed chondrocytes in their lacunae are separated by the strongly basophilic matrix.

At the edge of this plate, the chondrogenic perichondrium shows the flattened chondroblasts embedded in a paler matrix.

The fibrous perichondrium is composed of fibrocytes and collagen fibres. The layer of collagen fibres is not sharply demarcated from the dense connective tissue composing the rest of the tracheal wall.
