No. Cartilage falls in the category of connective tissue, which add support to the frame of the body, including support to muscle tissue. (This is true except the case of blood, which because of its matrix of cells, is also considered connective tissue.)

Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.Unlike other connective tissues, cartilage does not contain blood vessels.
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fasciae as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fasciae connect muscles to other muscles. Tendons and muscles work together.

Is it true that bone cartilage and tendons are muscle tissue?
No, bone, cartilage, and tendons are not muscle tissue.
What organ system includes bone cartilage and tendons?
The skeletal system includes bone, cartilage, and tendons.
What is the strong tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone?
Ligaments attach muscle to bone. Tendons connect bone to bone.
The attachment of a muscle to a bone or cartilage?
I believe that is a joint.
Are tendons bone to bone or muscle to bone?
No, it is a very tough, fibrous material that connects muscle to bone.
Which muscle tissue connects bone to bone and muscle to bone?
Tendons connect muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bones to other bones. Both are types of connective tissue. Tendons are extensions of the fibrous tissue between the muscle bundles. Ligaments are made mostly of collagen fibers, giving them a little more flexibility that tendons.
A narrow strip of dense connective tissue that connects muscle to bone?
Tendons connect muscles to bone.
What are the tough fibers or cords that hold the bones together?
Ligaments hold bone to bone in a movable joint. In contrast, tendons hold muscle to bone. Ligaments are made of dense fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments also hold our bones in place and support the organs.
What tissue connects bones to bones?
The tissue that connects bone to bone are called ligaments. They are responsible for providing stability to a joint. Cartilage, and ligaments make up the "connective tissue". And also Tendons (sinew), Auductive and Conductive Muscles and a decent argument for Joint Cartillage.
Compare and contrast tendons and ligaments?
ligaments connect bone to bone, tendons connect muscle to bone and cartilage is the semi solid bones that are present at the places where they required. For example: our external ears, nose, between 2 joints cartilage is present.
What part of the muscle attaches the muscle to the bone?
bones
A strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. An example is the Achilles tendon that attaches your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the bones in your foot.
