Is cartilage harder than bone?

Bones develop from cartliage. Babies are born with a large amount of cartilage and more bones than adults. These bones eventually fuse together to form the normal number of adult bones. Much of the cartilage in babies grows into bone. Certain bone cells cause minerals to be deposited in the cartilage which makes it (bone) harder and stronger. Bone tissue begins to develop at the center of the cartilage, and blood vessels carry nutrients to the developing bone. As more bone tissue is formed, the bones grows longer. Eventually, the center of the bone is fully formed. A baby's bones are soft, but the gradually become harder and softer as more minerals are deposited. This hardening process is called ossification. As a child grows, new bone tissue is made between the head of the bone and its shaft in special areas called growth plates or growth zones. This is how we grow and get taller. Some cartilage remains at the ends of the bones to protect them. In other places, cartilage remains throughout life and does not turn into bone. This is the case with noses. Noses are shaped by cartilage--not bone.Source: Utah Education Network
