Cartilage can be found in a variety of places throughout the body including the articular surface of the bones, the rib cage, the ears, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.
Cartilage is located between bones to cushion and lubricate movement. It is also found at the ends of bones like the nose, and in other parts of the body where you need stiffening without bones, like in the ears. Many animals have an entire skeleton made of cartilage instead of bone, like sharks.
