Cartilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, which differ in relative amounts of cartilage.Chondroblasts that get caught in the matrix are called chondrocytes. Cartilage does not contain blood vessels (avascular) or nerves (aneural).artilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, which differ in relative amounts of cartilage.
This structure acts as both muscle and skeleton, for movement and stability. The long fibers of the cytoskeleton are polymers of subunits. The primary types of fibers comprising the cytoskeleton are microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Microfilaments are fine, thread-like protein fibers, 3-6 nm in diameter.
The Cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is made up of protein threads. It is responsible for holding the cell in place, maintaining cellular shape and supporting the cell membrane. Plant and animal cells contain three basic types of protein thread. Actin filaments, or microfilaments, are the thinnest type, while intermediate filaments are thicker and stronger.
