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: -Cartilage is the firm, rubbery tissue that cushions your bones at the joints. It allows bones to glide over one another.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that differs from bone in several ways; it is avascular and its microarchitecture is less organized than bone. The cells (chondrocytes) are scattered and lie firmly fixed in matrix supported by collagen and elastic fibres.
