pseudostratified columnar epithelium

Hyaline cartilage has a glass - like appearance (due to the evenly distributed collagen fibers in the matrix) and contains chondrocytes (cartilage cells) in lacunae (spaces). In the given image, the cells (chondrocytes) are in lacunae and the matrix has a smooth, homogeneous look which is characteristic of hyaline cartilage.
Elastic connective tissue has more elastic fibers (would appear more fibrous with a different texture). Neurons have distinct cell body, dendrites and axons which are not seen here. Areolar loose connective tissue has a more open, web - like appearance with various cell types (fibroblasts, immune cells etc.). Dense irregular connective tissue has more collagen fibers arranged in a haphazard manner. Smooth muscle has spindle - shaped cells. Simple cuboidal epithelium has cube - shaped cells arranged in a single layer. Compact bone has osteons. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium has columnar cells that give a stratified appearance. Blood has cells (red blood cells, white blood cells etc.) in a fluid matrix.
