Explanation

Hyaline cartilage is an avascular tissue, meaning it lacks blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels. It consists of a dense extracellular matrix rich in type II collagen and contains chondrocytes housed within lacunae. Despite having fibers, cells, and lacunae, hyaline cartilage does not possess blood vessels, which is why it relies on diffusion for nutrient supply.
