What is the endoskeleton made of?
It provides structure, support, and helps with movement.An endoskeleton is usually made of cartilage and bone, but some endoskeletons, such as those of sharks, contain only cartilage.Bones are made of calcium carbonate, which is why consuming the nutrient calcium gives people strong bones.
How many bones are in a shark's body?
Sharks are a type of fish that have no bones, only cartilage. Some parts of their skeleton, like their vertebrae, are calcified. Cartilage, a strong fibrous substance, is softer than bone; our nose and ears are made of cartilage. Sharks belong to the group of fishes called Elasmobranchii, which also includes the rays, skates, and ratfish. The Elasmobranchii are all fish that have no bones, only cartilage.

Is fibrocartilage is the only type used in creating embryonic skeleton?
No, fibrocartilage is not the only type used in creating the embryonic skeleton. The embryonic skeleton primarily consists of hyaline cartilage, which serves as a precursor to bone in endochondral ossification. Fibrocartilage may play a role in specific areas, such as intervertebral discs, but it is not the main component of the embryonic skeleton.
