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:
- 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
- Fibrocartilage is found in the knee and it is tough and inflexible.
- Elastic cartilage is found in-ear, epiglottis and larynx. It is the most flexible cartilage.
