  1. Connective tissue that is flexible and resilient
    Cartilage is a resilient and smooth type of connective tissue. In tetrapods, it covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints as articular cartilage, and is a structural component of many body parts including the rib cage, the neck and the bronchial tubes, and the intervertebral discs.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage
    Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many parts of the body. It can bend a bit, but resists stretching. Its main function is to connect bones together. It is also found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the throat and between the bones of the back.

    What is cartilage physiology?
    Anatomy, histology and definition of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of elastic connective tissue that fulfills a supporting and protective function in the body. Cartilage tissue is avascular and therefore relies on obtaining its nutrients via diffusion, sometimes even over large distances. There are 3 types of cartilage:

    What is articular cartilage?
    Synonyms: Articular cartilages, Articular cartilage of a synovial joint , show more... The articular cartilage is a type of specialized connective tissue present in synovial joints. It is composed of hyaline cartilage with a dense extracellular matrix and scattered specialized cells of the cartilage known as chondrocytes .

    What type of cartilage is fibrocartilage?
    Fibrocartilage is a type of cartilage that should be viewed as a blend between hyaline cartilage and dense fibrous connective tissue. It is a white, densely arranged, opaque, tufted tissue with a mixture of both chondrocytes and fibroblasts. The former typically lie between bundles of type I and type II collagen fibers.

    What is the structure and function of cartilage?
    Cartilage, connective tissue forming the mammalian embryonic skeleton prior to bone formation and persisting in parts of the human skeleton into adulthood. It is composed of a dense network of collagen fibers embedded in a gelatinous ground substance. Learn more about the structure and function of cartilage.

    How many types of cartilage are there?
    There are 3 types of cartilage This is the most common form of cartilage in the body and also the weakest type. It is mostly made up of collagen (type II) with relatively few elastic fibres and is surrounded by a perichondrium. Hyaline is a precursor for bone and so is found in the epiphyseal growth plates of children.

    What is elastic cartilage?
    Elastic cartilage contains collagen and an abundance of elastic fibres that are arranged into a threadlike network in which chondrocytes can be found. It is resilient, flexible and found in structures that are commonly deformed for example the outer ear, larynx and epiglottis. Similar to hyaline, it also has a perichondrium.
