Cartilage and bone
cartilage connects bone to bone
The matrix of cartilage is a firm gel that contains polysaccharide derivatives called chondroitin sulfates.
Bone contains hydroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH which isn't found in cartilage.
No, you have it backwards. "Chondro" is the prefix for cartilage while "osteo" is the prefix for bone. Endochondral ossificiation is when the cartilage is replaced by bone, so you would have osteocytes moving into the matrix and replacing the chondrocytes.
No. Cartilage is not another name for bone. It is hard tissue like bone, but is mostly made of collagen fibers, whereas bone is mostly made of extracellular matrix that contains calcium and phosphorus.
False
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
Chondrocytes or cartilage cells are the only cell in the cartilage matrix.

Cartilage has bone marrow, so therefore it connects bones to bones in the skeletal system.
