What type of tissue is articular cartilage and what is it's function?
Articular cartilage or Hyaline cartilage is connective tissue made up of strong collagen fibres. It provides a protection over the ends of bone and reduces friction where the bone forms an articulation (joint), hence the name articular. It also acts as a shock absorber.

What type of cartilage makes of articular cartilage?

What is the function of articular cartilage?
To cusion the bones from rubbing and smacking on each other. It also allows gliding motions.The main function of the articular cartilage is to provide a smooth surface where the bones connect and touch. It also lubricates that area and makes sure there is low friction.
What is intra-articular pathology?
Intra-articular pathology would be disease of the articular cartilage and would encompass arthritis, cartilage erosion, neoplasia and developmental disorders of cartilage and subarticular bone.
Articular cartilage is composed of what tissue?
hyaline cartilage
The cartilage found at the end of long bones is called?
