Is Cartilage more brittle than Bone?

Cartilage, as a rule, is the slowest healing tissue in the human body. The reason for this is the virtual absence of blood flow in this tissue. Most of the nutrition for cartilage comes from synovial fluid, the lubricating fluid in most of our joints. There are other types of cartilage in the body such as hyaline cartilage, forming the connection in the front of the rib cage. This type is also considered avascular, meaning without blood supply. Bones on the other hand heal much faster than most tissues because of their rich supply of blood. The blood carries the nessecary building blocks required in the healing process.


What are the THREE main parts of the skeletal system?

The skeletal system consists of bones and related cartilage structures (such as in the ears, back, and knees), and the ligaments that connect the bones to other bones and to the muscles. The main bones in the skeletal system are the skull and spinal column (vertebrae), the ribs, and the sternum, which protects the heart and lungs. The other bones include the femurs (thigh bones) which are the biggest, the pelvis, the bones of the extremities (collarbone, scapula, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and phlanges) and the small bones of the inner ear.
