Cartilage in the elbow joint and knee joint cushion the bones in the joints so the easily glide over each other. As you age, these become thinner and finally disappear. The joint then are very painful.
The three places where cartilage is found is in the knee, ankle and elbow
This cartilage is called hyaline cartilage because it is like glass and very smooth. It allows for easy movement in the joint.
The cartilage helps cushion and reduce friction in the joint.
The cartilage is there to stop bone rubbing against bone. It performs like a lubricant.
The knee is the elbow is not
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.
Knee by far. The knee has a lot of nerves that the elbow doesn't have
The things on your legs, and the things on you arms!
cartilage :- it is a connective tissue which lies at joints between the bones or surrounding the bone it is mainly of two kinds hylaine cartilage and fibro cartilage the other areas where cartilage are found are :the rib cage, theear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs
In specific areas yes. For example articular cartilage found in the knee and elbow is replaced by fibrocartilage when damaged as it lacks the ability to regenerate without the covering perichondrium
Knee and elbow
The true hyaline cartilage is the knee's intra-articular cartilage found in the joint surface. It has collagen but does not possess nerves or blood vessels.
