On the other hand the ECM undergoes much less shrinkage and as a result of the shrinkage of the cells, the lacunae are often seen &#8220;empty&#8221; or with some cell remnants inside. <\/p>\n<p>There are many chondrocytes in the image. When you place the cursor over the image, the cytoplasm and nucleus of some of them become respectively highlighted in red and blue.<br \/>\nThe extracellular matrix of cartilage stains blue or purplish after being stained by hematoxylin and eosin.<br \/>\nThe perichondrium, a layer of connective tissue proper that covers the cartilage, is highlighted in green. Observe that no connective tissue fibers are seen in the hyaline cartlage ECM.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n  <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"> <\/p>\n<div onclick>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" http:\/\/mol.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-4.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' http:\/\/mol.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-4-MO.jpg'\" onmouseout=\"this.src=' http:\/\/mol.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/6-4.jpg'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Trachea.
