Cartilage Cartilage is a flexible but strong supportive connective tissue. Unlike bone and all other connective tissue types, cartilage is avascular, lacking blood vessels. For this reason alone, cartilage does not possess the regenerative capacity of bone or the other connective tissue types. Remember, nutrient delivery is essential for tissue repair.
The flounder is a species of flatfish that is found in the coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Flounder are found hiding on the ocean floor at depths from shallow coral reefs to the deepest trench on Earth.
Flounder lie on their left sides on the ocean floor; in adulthood, both eyes are situated on the right, upward-facing side of its body, and are aligned along a roughly 70Â° angle. Flatfish have been cited as examples in favor of the theory of evolution.
