A variation can mean something that is slightly different from similar items of its type (also a variant or variety). It can also apply to a difference itself (e.g. a variat â¦ ion in temperature). In mathematics, variation is the function that compares values among variables.
Cartilage is a type of elastic connective tissue which acts as rubber-like padding to cover and protect the ends of bones at joints. It is a dense matrix of elastic and collagen fibers which are embedded in rubber like ground substance.
They are further classified into loose connective tissues, dense connective tissues, cartilage tissues and other connective tissues, such as bone tissues, blood, and lymphatics. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue whose extracellular matrix contains large amounts of mucopolysaccharide, particularly chondroitin sulphate. The cellular component of cartilage tissues is the chondrocytes. The chondrocytes are chondroblasts that became trapped in the extracellular matrix. The chondrocytes are responsible for the diffusion of nutrients and substances, and the repair of the matrix.
