Fibrocartilage

Fibrocartilage, with its irregularly arranged fibers, is difficult to differentiate from dense irregular connective tissue. Rounded chondrocytes, frequently with visible cytoplasm and lacunae, differentiate fibrocartilage from connective tissue proper. Fibroblasts are distinguished by their flattened, heterochromatic nuclei and lack of visible cytoplasm and lacunae. 400x
