It is present in both the animal
What distinguishes cartilage from connective tissue proper?
Cartilage is a form of connective tissue. But unlike other connective tissues, it does not contain blood cells, causing it to grow and repair slower than connective tissues with blood cells.
Does connective tissue contain large amount of matrix?
Yes, areolar connective tissue has a fluid matrix.
Is there Fat in cartilage?
I should think not, fat and cartilage are entirely different body matter. Fat tissue might surround the cartilage present in our body, but they wouldn't be part of the cartilage. Moreover, cartilage is usually found joint areas or at places such our nose and ear areas, both of which do not contain much fat- fats wouldn't be found close to our bone area because usually it would be muscle that is wrapped around our bones, not fat (referring to joint areas), and our ear and nose areas are mainly made up of cartilage and skin (though of course our nose comprises of bone as well).
What type of cartilage is bronchi?
No, bronchioles (except in the whale) do not contain cartilage. The bronchioles in whales contain cartilage in order to prevent them from collapsing before other parts of the airways (and trapping gas in the alveoli). This helps prevent the bends - as nitrogen is removed from the alveoli before large pressures cause it to diffuse across the thin walls present there.
What does the trachea and bronchi contain to keep the air passage open?
Hyaline cartilage, which also covers the ends of bones at the joints, which reduces friction during movement.
What is the main function of the bronchioles?
There are two primary bronchi which are the first divisions branching off from the trachea to take air into the lungs. The primary bronchi then subdivide into lobar bronchi and then again into tertiary bronchi which continue to divide until they are tiny bronchioles which supply each of the alveoli in the lungs. The left primary bronchus leads to the left lung and the right primary bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi contain rings of hyaline cartilage which help to provide flexible support to the airways.
Does the stomach contain cartilage?
no
Do bronchioles have cartilage rings?
No, cartilage is only contained up until the bronchi. The bronchioles and onward do not contain any cartilage rings, only smooth muscle.
Why do pig's bronchi contain cartilage rings?
Many mammals have cartilage rings in their tracheas, which may also extend down the mainstem bronchi. These rings are in place to physically keep the major airways propped open so that air can flow easily.
Does cartilage contain chondroitin?
no it does not it contain chondroitin. it contains demecularoin that causes your cartilage to swell and turn a dark red and soon it will turn brown.
Does the human ear contain a cartilage?
Yes
Does the larynx contain thyroid cartilage?
Yes
Is blood found in cartilage?
Bone contains capillaries but cartilage does not.
Which organ of respiratory system do not contain cartilage?
the bronchioles
