Hello,
Cartilage is a connective tissue consisting of a dense matrix of collagen fibres and elastic fibres embedded in a rubbery ground substance.
There are three types of cartilage found in the body:
Hyaline - at the end of long bones at joints
elastic - outer ear / larnyx / epiglottis
fibro - symphisis pubis / intervertebral discs
If you need to know more about these individual things, go search it up, Wikipedia helps.
