Suraiya Jahan 4 years ago

The part of skeleton which can be bent and is not as hard as bone is known as cartilage.

Siya Panchal 4 years ago

Some additional parts other than bones which can be bent are called cartilage ex: ear bones, parts of nose etc
Cartilage is a smooth bone in our body. It is not hard bone. It is much softer than a bone. It is present in our upper ear pinna.

It is a thin, fibrous, flexible connective tissue, which is mainly found in the external ear, larynx, respiratory tract and the articulating surface of the joints. These cartilages lack blood vessels; therefore, the growth and development of these tissues are slower compared to that of other tissues. Altogether, there are three different types of cartilages, namely:

  1. Hyaline cartilage: It serves as a shock absorber and allows the smooth movement of the bones at joints. They are mainly found in the nose, respiratory tract and joints
  2. Fibrocartilage is found in the knee and it is tough and inflexible.
  3. Elastic cartilage is found in-ear, epiglottis and larynx. It is the most flexible cartilage.
