A hyaline substance is one with a glassy appearance. The word is derived from Greek: ὑάλινος transparent and Greek: ὕαλος crystal, glass.
In histopathological medical usage, a hyaline substance appears glassy and pink after being stained with haematoxylin and eosin — usually it is an acellular, proteinaceous material. An example is hyaline cartilage, a transparent, glossy articular joint cartilage.
Some mistakenly refer to all hyaline as hyaline cartilage; however, hyaline is a descriptive term that applies to other material besides the cartilage itself.
Arterial hyaline is seen in aging, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus and in association with some drugs (e.g. calcineurin inhibitors). It is bright pink with PAS staining.
In ichthyology and entomology, the hyaline term usage denotes a type of colorless, transparent substance.
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
And he feels the piston scrapin'
Steam breakin' on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
He sees his children jumpin' off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and havin' fun
And he's crawlin' down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole that handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down
He hears the silence howlin'
When he catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls
And he picks up Gideon's Bible
And it's open at page one
I think God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop goin'
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down, oh
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
