What kind of tissue is in cartilage?
Cartilage is a specialized, fibrous connective tissue that has the consistency of a firm plastic or gristle-like gel, bone is a highly specialized connective tissue whose matrix is hard and calcified.Bone is distinguished from cartilage by the presence of inorganic calcium salts in its ground substance, which makes the ground substance rigid.Bone is also what marrow is made of, except for sharks and a few other animals which are made entirely out of squishy cartilage. Although, bone and cartilage are both specialized connective tissues.The difference between cartilage and bone is that cartilage is a flimsy, calcium based substance, it makes up your earlobe and your nose. The only difference between catilage and bone is that bone has marrow, while cartilage has no marrow.Bones are the hard things in your body that give it structure and allow you to move. Cartilage is the stuff between the bones that allows them to move easily and comfortably without the bones rubbing together and causing pain.http://www.24masti.com/difference-between-bone-and-cartilage/Bone is distinguished from cartilage by the presence of inorganic calcium salts in its ground substance, which makes the ground substance rigid.

How do you xxplain the importance of cartilage?
The ends of the bones are covered with a tough elastic tissue called cartilage. cartilage makes the ends of the bones smooth and reduces friction between the bones during movement cartilage is also present in various other parts of our body . you could feel cartilage in the upper part of your ear and in the front part of your nose . these parts are not as hard as bones and can bend
