The costal cartilages also frequently become calcified in old age. Fat globules may also be seen in many cartilages. Shown is the costal cartilage from an adult dog with fat globules in the cartilage cells.

The cells of hyaline cartilage are irregular in shape and are generally grouped together. Shown is the ordinary hyaline cartilage from the trachea of a child. The cartilage cells are enclosed singly or in pairs in a capsule of hyaline substance.

The matrix of hyaline cartilage has a dimly granular appearance like that of ground glass, and in man and higher mammals has no apparent structure. In some cartilages of the frog, however, even when examined in the fresh state, is is seem to be mapped out in polygonal blocks or cell-territories, each containing a cell in the center, and representing what is generally called the capsule of the cartilage cells. Shown is the fresh cartilage from a Triton.
