The function of hyaline cartilage is to provide flexible support. It has great tensile strength (due to the collagen) and is highly resistant to pressure (due to the ground substance). Hyaline cartilage provides a framework for the developing embryo prior to the appearance of bone. Later, it supplies the mechanism by which bones grow in length.
It varies.
It can serve the same function as bone (note all bones begin as cartilage).
Flexable (slightly) connection between bones. (see ribs)
To give shape to protrusions (see nose & ears).
Hi there,
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue, which is more flexible than bone, but less flexible than muscle.
It surrounds the end of the bone to prevent bones from grinding against each other. Cartilage acts as shock absorbers as well.
Cartilage acts as a cushion between joints, to prevent the bones from rubbing against each other (such as the cartilage in the knees and elbows) and also reduces friction in the joint with movement. It also holds some bones together, such as rib cartilage. Cartilage also forms bone when you are growing - the ends of your long bones (arm and leg bones) are formed of cartilage when you are young, and this gradually changes into bone and grows longer.

Cartilage is also the only body tissue that never stops growing! Look at some very old people and you will see that the end of their nose and their earlobes are bigger than yours - this is because those areas are made of cartilage and keep growing all of your life.
Hyaline
cartilage has very fine collagenous
fibers in its extracellular matrix and looks somewhat like white glass. It is found on the ends of bones in many joints, in the soft part of the nose, and in the supporting rings of the respiratory passages. Hyaline
cartilage is also important in the development and growth of most bones.
Hyaline cartilage provides flexible support to the bones. It contains collagen that provides great tensile strength and it is also very resistant to pressure. Hyaline cartilage is the clear, slippery substance found at the ends of long bones (such as the femur, humerus, etc.)
The function of hyaline cartilage is to provide flexible support.
Cartilage acts as a buffer, a "spring", and a lubricant surface between joints.
The function of the hyaline cartilage is to support the moveable joints between the bones.
Cartilage is used to connect bones together.
Chondrocytes or cartilage cells are the only cell in the cartilage matrix.
It keeps the bones slightly apart, protecting their cartilage coverings from wear and tear It absorbs shocks, again protecting the cartilage It lubricates the joint, helping it to work freely and easily It acts as a filter, letting nutrients reach the cartilage, but blocking the passage of harmful cells and substances
A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone that but that functions within the skeletal system is called cartilage. Cartilage can be found at the tip of your nose, or in your outer ear.
The cartilage that forms the Adam's apple is the thyroid cartilage.
to protect bone by covering it with joint muscle
The function of the nasalis muscle is to compress the nasal cartilage.
Cartilage is used to connect bones together.
Vertebrae are separted by intervertebral disks of cartilage.
Chondrocytes or cartilage cells are the only cell in the cartilage matrix.
To produce cartilage needed for bone growth
i conluded that the skelital system is ligament,tendon,cartilage,and bone
It provides support and rigidity to structures of the musculoskeletal system. It is the strongest type of cartilage.

I wouldn't say that. Bone and cartialge is different, because it has different functions. You can't swap one for the other.
