What is meant by joint ligaments and cartilage?

A few animals don't have a skeleton. They are made up of cartilage, such as sharks. Our ears and nose are made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a stiff, rubbery tissue. It helps cushion bones and distributes weight evenly within the joints. There are three types of cartilage. They are articular cartilage, which covers joint surfaces, fibrocartilage, such as the small amounts of cartilage between the vertebrae in the spine, and elastic cartilage, such as the outer part of the ear. Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that bind bones together at the joints, such as the wrists, knees, and ankles.
