title: [Structuro-functional organization of the fibrillar component and ground substance of human rib cartilage].
abstract: A complex morphological investigation (histology, histochemistry, scanning and transmissive electron microscopy, electron histochemistry) has been performed to study the intercellular substance of the costal hyalinous cartilage. It has been demonstrated that the fibrillar framework of the costal cartilage consists of branching collagenous fibrillae, chaotically scattering. The fibrillae are surrounded with the ground substance; one of its components is the reticular ruthenium-positive structure.
