Hyaline cartilage is a type of tissue found at the ends of some bones.
It is an amorphous (chondroitin and glucosamine) matrix that surrounds cells that are called chondrocytes (within lacunae).
It acts as a support and as a cushion. It has little blood supply and because of that it heals poorly.

What is the smooth flexible layer of tissue covering the ends of bone is?
It is the Cartilage.
What is the smooth layer of tissue at the end of the bone?
Cartilage.
Definition of epidermal tissue?
That is the outer layer of skin covering the body.
What is the medical term meaning smooth layer of connective tissue protecting the bone surfaces in the synovial joint?
This tissue is hyaline cartilage. It is rather smooth and slippery.
What is thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of the bones?
cartilage :{D
Which layer of blood vessels contains smooth muscle tissue?
Tunica Media
What is the layer of tissue that forms the outermost covering of organs found in the digestive tract called?
Mucosa
The smooth muscle tissue layer of the arteries and veins?

What layer forms the outer covering of the gastrointestinal tract?
The outer covering of the gastrointestinal tract is formed by the serosa, which is a smooth, slippery membrane composed of connective tissue and epithelial cells. It helps protect and support the organs of the digestive system and allows them to move smoothly within the abdominal cavity.
What is an elastic smooth layer that serve as protective structure of movable joint?
The elastic smooth layer that serves as a protective structure of movable joints is called cartilage. Cartilage acts as a cushion between bones, reducing friction and absorbing shock during movement. It is a flexible and durable connective tissue that helps to maintain the structure and function of joints in the body.
What layer of the heart is formed by a single sheet of squamous epithelial cells covering connective tissue?
The pericardium is the layer of the heart formed by a single sheet of squamous epithelial cells covering connective tissue. It acts as a protective membrane around the heart and prevents friction as the heart beats.
Which description of the endocardium?
The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart, lining the heart chambers and covering the heart valves. It is composed of a thin layer of endothelial cells and a supporting layer of connective tissue, providing a smooth surface that minimizes friction as blood flows through the heart. This layer also plays a role in regulating heart function and maintaining the overall health of the cardiac tissue. Additionally, the endocardium is involved in the formation of the heart's electrical conduction system.
