GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock absorber throughout your body. Cartilage at the end of your bones reduces friction and prevents them from rubbing together when you use your joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrocartilage (fibrous cartilage) is essentially hyaline cartilage + type I collagen fibers added to the matrix. Obviously, this provides more tensile strength, and is found in intervertebral disks and pubic symphysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Elastic cartilage can stretch and recoil to its original shape because of its high content of elastic fibers.
