Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage provides mechanical support for the respiratory tree, nose, articular surfaces, and developing bones.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of cartilage: hyaline, fibrous, and elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the most widespread type and resembles glass. In the embryo, bone begins as hyaline cartilage and later ossifies. Fibrous cartilage has many collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cartilage can undergo both appositional growth (cells/matrix are deposited on top of each other from the perichondrium) and interstitial growth (growth from within the cartilage model). Hyaline cartilage is also avascular and must be nourished by synovial fluid.
