A way my teacher helps us remember elastic cartilage is it looks like hairy ears(ironically is the cartilage in your ears also). Itsss so gross you won’t be able to forget. Awesome video as always!

[@Zahraa-hr1tz]

I can't forget that either, thank you

[@sage9710]

thank you so much for your clear explanations! I spent hours on lecture and could not understand how to identify the structures but your 4 min video clarified how to identify cartilage on practically any slide!!!

[@user-jq7dw6us3f]

I was about to drop a&p today until I found you yesterday! I've been watching constantly and feel so much morr prepared! The slides at the end is perfect to test yourself after! Thank you.

[@baileerogers5225]

You are the reason I’m passing anatomy thank you so much your videos are amazing !!

[@BeckyMatthew32572]

Wow, elastic cartilage is so beautiful! The close up reminds me of an abstract painting, I love it!

[@AnatomyHero]

I agree! Whenever I'm showing a student how to use a microscope I'll grab an elastic cartilage slide so that at the end they are rewarded for their efforts with something beautiful! 9/10 times I'll hear a little "oh!" of amazement that tells me they've got it in focus 😁

[@AnatomyHero]

Correction: elastic fibers CAN be stained other colors, but with the most common stain, they will be purple.

you are a life saver i have 5 weeks of anatomy left i was on the verge of giving up. i found your videos now i am ready to take my practical exam tomorrow morning all consists of looking in a microscope and identifiying connective tissue, cartliage and mussels keep the videos coming if you have any videos on understanding the integumentary system and skin i would love to watch. Also any videos on the bone tissue and the skeletal system i would love that Thank you!!!!!!

[@angelashrestha8790]

Thank you so much!! My histology exam is next week, and this has been an awesome refresher 🎉

[@jatinmalhotra8317]

Best video on internet 🎉❤

Very helpful 🙌🥰 I appreciate this video

Great Video. Very much appreciate!

[@mateokeraj5056]

super helpful, straight to the point didn't even need to watch it on 2x speed

[@trexieabegailson9573]

thank you! you just saved me from my histology class, such a hero!

[@kaileystimac2405]

These videos are saving my life!!!! I appreciate you so much!!

[@dailyquotes8339]

Im studying for my exam and your vidoes regarding identifying type of tissue is helping me soooo much ... thanks a lot!

[@AnatomyHero]

You're very welcome! Good luck in your studies!

[@Zahraa-hr1tz]

You are wonderful. Thank you. I am studying pharmacy college and it has helped me a lot

[@ARHAYEMXD]

Thank you, we were discussing this matter in our practice class of histology 141, nice short video to help out

[@Saimumar9746]

Just love for this kind of explanation ❤

[@pranjalmakwana-y6j]

Nicely explained

[@Nowhere_watcher]

I understand why your name is Hero. Thank you so much ! 🙏

[@emmaaggrey]

I will get good marks in my histology exam tomorrow because of this video. Thanks

[@alnoor233]

Wow wonderful explaining thank you so mush, you are easier anatomy to me💜💜💜

[@davidkatowando5465]

That trick was good tho 😂 I said fibro right before you said it out

[@marjoriejoylopez1639]

just wanna ask what is the difference between dense collagenous and dense elastic? also there's a dense fibrous..? and where are those located? im so confuse on that part. thank you. hope that u can answer me since i'll be having a move exam tomorrow. appreciate u a lot!

[@AnatomyHero]

Dense collagenous and dense fibrous are just two names for the same thing.... Dense elastic has purple collagen fibers mixed in... Both dense fibrous and dense elastic have regular and irregular varieties.... The regular has fibers going in one direction, The irregular has fibers going in many directions kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp-ogndjfJ2ib68 I show dense regular AND irregular fibrous.... but only dense regular elastic here. Dense regular fibrous you find in tendons and ligaments. Dense irregular fibrous you find surrounding organ capsules. Dense elastic I know you find in the walls of the aorta to make it bouncy but I've never bothered to learn about irregular versus regular. Hope that helps good luck on your test!

[@marjoriejoylopez1639]

@@AnatomyHero yay! learned a lot. thanks for this info! appreciate u.

[@sharonrodden7147]

love your videos. just mentioning in first slide, "cartilage" is spelled incorrectly

[@AnatomyHero]

Whoops! Its even in the thumbnail and I didn't even notice!

[@toofumed]

[@StacyO.]

Great content. Please how will you distinguish between the fibrocartilage and the dense regular connective tissue ?

[@AnatomyHero]

Fibrocartilage vs dense regular can be difficult from pictures. Fibrocartilage will appear like hyaline close to the edges...and dense regular in the middle (because both have collagen fibers mixed with cells) so from a single picture it can be difficult because they genuinely can be indistinguishable. In the first example I show (with all three side by side) you can see the collagen fibers are running in two different directions, which you wouldn't see if it were dense regular (although, not all fibrocartilage looks like this) I wish I had a better answer, but you honestly might not be able to tell the difference depending on the view.

[@user-yb9st2ux9w]

I think you answered this perfectly. Fibrocartilage looks like dense regular connective tissue in the middle and hyaline at the edges. 2:13

[@walter-yt8mu]

For elastic cartilage in my bio 2 class we were looking at a piece under the micro scope and it was pink

[@AnatomyHero]

Rats. I should've done more background research before using the word ALWAYS. Regardless of the color, the pattern of the many close together lacunae with strings in between should hold true!

[@walter-yt8mu]

@@AnatomyHero yes it does but its hard to see the strings between with 640x magnification

[@nayabulhaq6436]

Histo exam in next hour

[@KrissyBby17]

Are these all H &E stained sections?

[@AnatomyHero]

The fibrocartilage is not, H&E never stains blue. I'm guessing that one is anniline blue. If it was H&E it would look the same except like pink ramen noodles instead of blue ramen noodles. The others do appear to be H&E but I have more experience with identifying than staining.

[@angelbaby.9531]

Thanks a bunch, ma'am!!Your trick, however, did not work on me ;).hehe

[@alimamstudying9462]

😂😂😂😂😂😂+++

[@AnatomyHero]

Hmmm ... Sorry to hear that! Are there specific ones you are getting confused? Sometimes it is helpful to get a few examples of each tissue type that you are getting confused and look at them side by side. Try to spot similarities and differences. Looking at multiple examples at the same time helps you see the pattern.

[@angelbaby.9531]

Oh no ma'am.I don't mean to worry you.The video was super helpful.I just meant the trick question with the two fibrocartilage slides.I got it correct

[@AnatomyHero]

Ooooooohhhhhh, I remember now! Happy to help!

[@NickSpencer-jl2dc]

you didn't trick me😂

[@fernando3061]

I didn't fall for your trick, I eat a lot of ramen I know my stuff.
