Cartilage has a number of purposes around the body. Cartilage is present in joints in various forms:Fibrocartilage: found in the sutures of the skull where it joins the bony plates together.Hyaline cartilage: found on the articulating surfaces of bones, where it provides lubrication for joints to enable ease of motion. This form of cartilage also forms the fetal skeleton before it becomes proper bone via the process of ossification.Elastic cartilage: Found in the earlobes and the suspensory ligament of the penis. This cartilage can stretch and regain it's original shape and length without sustaining damage.

Cartilage is A connective tissue characterised by its non vascularity and firm consistency; consists of cells (chondrocytes), an interstitial matrix of fibers (collagen), and ground substance (proteoglycans). There are three kinds of cartilage: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage. Nonvascular, resilient, flexible connective tissue found primarily in joints, the walls of the thorax, and tubular structures (larynx, air passages, and ears); makes up most of the skeleton in early fetal life, but is slowly replaced by bone.
