Cartilage.—Cartilage and bone are likewise tissueswhich find their characteristic development only in the ver- GENERAL HISTOLOGY. 103 tebrates. In its appearance, cartilage is similar to thehomogeneous connective substance of many invertebratedanimals; the matrix is homogeneous and, at first glance,appears quite structureless (Fig. 41), but, under the actionof certain reagents, assumes a fibrous condition. Thisconduct, as well as the fact that the cartilage growsthrough changes of the perichondrium, a thin, fibrillar skincovering its surface, makes it more certainly evident thatit is homogeneously fibrillar; and it is thereby distin- • -;,,.
