Perichondrium?! Hyaline cartilage is articular which does NOT have perichondrium! Surinder.wadhawan (talk) 19:11, 27 January 2012 (UTC) Slimy? The term sounds a bit loaded. Phersh (talk) 05:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

From Google Dictionary: Disgustingly immoral, dishonest, or obsequious - he was a slimy people-pleaser

How about viscous or glutinous? Phersh (talk) 05:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not a big fan of "slimy" as a descriptor either. I'm not certain that viscous or glutinous are better replacements, though. Viscous implies a fluidity that simply isn't there in cartilage. It's a piece of tissue not a liquid like honey or oil. Glutinous also has a fluidy feel to it combined with suggestion that cartilage might contain gluten, which it doesn't. I'm not certain how much of the sliminess comes from synovial fluid rather than the tissue itself. Perhaps the best bet would be to remove the word "slimy" altogether leaving something like "Hyaline cartilage (aka “Gristle") is one of three types of cartilage. It is pearly bluish in colour with firm consistency and considerable elasticity. It contains no nerves or blood vessels, and its structure is relatively simple."

Which animal?
Although I cannot say for sure, the article appears to be written entirely with (implicit) reference only to humans. Do other animals not have hyaline cartilage? I am a pitiful ignoramus on such topics, but I would expect that they do. In any case, shouldn't this be made explicit in the article? Toddcs (talk) 09:37, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
