ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage is the most common type in the body. This cartilage type is found in the larynx, nose, ribs, and trachea. A very thin layer of cartilage is also present on bony surfaces, such as over joints, to cushion them. This hyaline cartilage is known as articular cartilage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue seen throughout the body. It serves a variety of structural and functional purposes and exists in different types throughout our joints, bones, spine, lungs, ears and nose.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrous, and elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread type and resembles glass. In the embryo, bone begins as hyaline cartilage and later ossifies. Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each serves specific functions within the musculoskeletal system. Elastic cartilage is a structural cartilaginous tissue for non-load-bearing body parts, such as ears, nose, and epiglottis (Hutmacher et al., 2003).

Detailed explanation-5: -Joints between bones e.g. the elbows, knees and ankles. Ends of the ribs. Between the vertebrae in the spine. Ears and nose. Bronchial tubes or airways.
