Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cartilage is a unique tissue type because it doesn’t have blood vessels or nerves. Instead, cartilage cells (known as chondrocytes) are found in a gel-like “matrix” that provides nourishment to the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cartilage is the flexible connective tissue present in the ears, nose, and joints of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cartilage is a connective tissue with a large amount of the matrix and variable amounts of fibers. The cells, called chondrocytes, make the matrix and fibers of the tissue. Chondrocytes are found in spaces within the tissue called lacunae.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are primarily composed of hyaline cartilage, which is densely packed with collagen, a structural protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -Elastic cartilage tissue or yellow cartilage is the connective tissue that is found in body organs that do not bear body load, for example, the nose, ear, eustachian tube, and epiglottis. Elastic cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue.
