Connective Tissues
Linked via "vascularization"
Cartilage
Cartilage provides flexible support and cushioning. It lacks direct vascularization, relying entirely on synovial fluid diffusion for nutrient uptake. The three types—hyaline, fibrocartilage, and elastic—differ primarily in their fiber composition. Chondrocytes within hyaline cartilage are believed to communicate through fl… -
Surface Area To Volume Ratio
Linked via "vascularization"
Small Animals: Small mammals (e.g., shrews, hummingbirds) possess very high $\text{SA:V}$ ratios. Consequently, they lose heat so rapidly that their metabolic rate must be proportionally higher (the 'surface-area law') simply to avoid hypothermia. This necessitates near-constant foraging and energy intake $\text{cite{BergmannsRuleRevisited}}$.
Large Animals: Large animals (e.g., elephants, [whales](/entries/wha…
