what type of cartilage reduces friction at the joints?
A
hyaline
B
fibrous
C
elastic
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage at the ends of your bones is sometimes referred to as articular cartilage . Hyaline cartilage is slippery and smooth which helps your bones move smoothly past each other in your joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hyaline cartilage is found in the synovial joints and assists the motion of joints. It is composed of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyaline, or articular, cartilage covers the ends of bones to create a low-friction environment and cushion at the joint surface. When cartilage in the joint is healthy, it effectively allows fluid bending/straightening motions and protects the joint against weight-bearing stresses.

Detailed explanation-4: -Friction between the bones at a synovial joint is prevented by the presence of the articular cartilage, a thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the entire articulating surface of each bone.
