Quain's elements of anatomy . re and outward characters, that they have been includedin a class apart, under the name of the elastic, yellow, or spongy cartilages. These are opaque and somewhat yellow, are more flexibleand tough than the ordinary cartilages, and have little tendency to are made up of cells and a matrix, but the latter is everywherepervaded with fibres (fig. 8i), except in a small area or narrow zone(shaded in the figure) left round each of the cells. The fibres resist theaction of acetic acid ; they are in many parts short, fine, and confusedlyintersecting each other in all directions, like the filaments in a piece offelt ; in such parts the matrix has a rough indistinctly granular look,but sometimes this appearance is due to the fact that the elastic fibresare incompletely developed, the granules which are to form them having-not yet run together into fibres (fig. 85, It). Sometimes the fibres arelonger (fig. 85, c) but they still intercommunicate at short distances. Fig. 84. Fig.
