Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline Cartilage Articular cartilage covers the ends of all bones found in joints (knee, ankle, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist and finger) and allows them to slide freely in the joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cartilage is an important structural component of the body. It is a firm tissue but is softer and much more flexible than bone. Cartilage is a connective tissue found in many areas of the body including: Joints between bones e.g. the elbows, knees and ankles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyaline Cartilage: Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is found lining bones in joints (articular cartilage). It is also present inside bones, serving as a center of ossification or bone growth. In addition, hyaline cartilage forms the embryonic skeleton.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that differs from bone in several ways; it is avascular and its microarchitecture is less organized than bone. The cells (chondrocytes) are scattered and lie firmly fixed in matrix supported by collagen and elastic fibres.
