Explanation

Hyaline cartilage does not have blood vessels, nerves, or lymphatics. It is a highly hydrated tissue that is made up of a dense extracellular matrix (ECM) with a low number of chondrocytes. The ECM is rich in collagen type II and has a semi translucent matrix. Hyaline cartilage is a type of connective tissue found in various parts of the body, such as the nose, trachea, and ends of long bones. It has a firm and somewhat flexible structure due to its extracellular matrix composed primarily of type II collagen fibers. Hyaline cartilage contains cells called chondrocytes, which are housed in spaces called lacunae. However, hyaline cartilage is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels.
