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: -Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant type of cartilage in the body. This smooth, transparent, glassy type of cartilage coats the ends of the bone surfaces, reducing friction in the joints. It is firmly anchored to the bone, and is responsible for the fluid movement of the bones in a joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a joint, the ends of the bones are covered with cartilage. Cartilage is a smooth, tough, resilient, and protective tissue composed of collagen, water, and proteoglycans that reduces friction as joints move.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many joints have cartilage (KAHRT-uh-lij) on the ends of the bones where they come together. Healthy cartilage helps you move by allowing bones to glide over one another. It also protects bones by preventing them from rubbing against each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -A submuscular bursa is found between a muscle and an underlying bone, or between adjacent muscles. These prevent rubbing of the muscle during movements.
