Why are the cartilages rings incomplete?
This is very good question. Which haunted me for decades. If you have no cartilage, then your larynx and bronchi will collapse. If you have full cartilage ring, then your bronchi can not get constricted. Incomplete rings of cartilage has solved the problem. Your bronchi and trachea do not collapse and can constrict also.
What cartilage is the most common type?
hylineThere is a very similar question on wiki answers. The question is:= What type of cartilage is the most abundant of the skeletal cartilage? = The answer to the question was:HyalineBut when you look it up, the answer to your question should be:''The most common type is chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate .''

What is the name given to the process of turning cartilage into bone?
This question refers to animal (including human) growth and maturity. Cartilage tissue in certain areas changes into bone which forms the final and adult structure of the organism. In humans the terminal phase of these changes are in the late teens to early twenties at the latest.No dear friend. That never happens..... Both are entirely different in composition, for example, cartilages contain a lot of collagen while bones have huge calcium deposits
What is the most common type of cartilage?
The most common type of cartilage is hyaline cartilage. It is a type of connective tissue found in many areas of the body. Hyaline cartilage is composed of cells called chondrocytes which are embedded in a matrix of collagen fibers and proteins. This type of cartilage is found in the nose trachea larynx ribs and other areas. It is also found in between bones forming joints and providing cushioning between them.

What is the characteristics of hyaline cartilage?
at the moment im doing an anatomy and physiology assignment and have come across this question. for example: long bones which are longer than they are wide, they have heads known as 'epiphyses' at the bottom hyaline cartlige both ends contain cancellous bone. Cartilages are made up elastin and collagen fibres, which gives it flexibility and durability, prevents friction on moving bones and helps with attachment. at the moment im doing an anatomy and physiology assignment and have come across this question. for example: long bones which are longer than they are wide, they have heads known as 'epiphyses' at the bottom hyaline cartlige both ends contain cancellous bone.

Just got the skin right where the lobe turns into the cartilage pierced ears have always rejected cartilage piercing maybe they snipped a piece of cartilage sightly red and a little swollen?
