What is the space between bone?
It is called the articular surface."Articulate" is to make contact between two or more bones.The surfaces of the bones would be covered by hyaline cartilage.
What are the discs of fibrocartilage between the articulating surfaces of the knee called?
They are called Menisci. Also called shock abrosbing pads.
Is there cartilage in your nose?
Yes, there is indeed cartilage in the nose of humans, which can be broken during sports or other heavy activity. Or, in extreme scenarios, if the cartilage is pushed upward in just a certain way, it would extend into the brain, most likely killing the victim. The bridge of the nose is formed partly of cartilages. On both sides are upper lateral and lower lateral cartilages. Three or four small cartilaginous plates called sesamoid cartilages are attached to each lower lateral cartilage. The cartilage of the septum separates the nostrils.
What is the tissue called on the flexible tip of the nose?
There IS a nose bone, in fact it's called the nasal bone at the top of the nose. It's a short bone that doesn't extend the length of the nose. At the end of the nasal bone is where the cartilage starts. You can find anatomical pictures on google for a visual.
What is the most common type of cartilage?
The most common type of cartilage is hyaline cartilage. It is a type of connective tissue found in many areas of the body. Hyaline cartilage is composed of cells called chondrocytes which are embedded in a matrix of collagen fibers and proteins. This type of cartilage is found in the nose trachea larynx ribs and other areas. It is also found in between bones forming joints and providing cushioning between them.

What part of the long bone protects articulating surface?
Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.
Cartilage that includes the hip knee and elbow?
This cartilage is called hyaline cartilage because it is like glass and very smooth. It allows for easy movement in the joint.

At articular surfaces. And epiphysial plates in children

Name the outer connective tissue layer around cartilage?
Cartilage is enclosed by a layer of dense connective tissue called the perichondrium, except on the articulating surfaces in joint cavities. The perichondrium has two layers-- a fibrous outer layer and an inner layer of cells with chondrogenic (cartilage-forming) potential. The chondrogenic cells undergo division and differentiate into chondroblasts.
What keeps the trachea from collapsing?
The hyaline cartilage provide support to prevent it from collapsing..im pretty sure they're also called "Rings of Cartilage"Trachea does not collapse even when there is no air in it because it is supported by rings of soft bones alled cartilage rings.
Where is cartilage found in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage is cartilage which covers the surface of the bone in synovial joints. Its function is to reduce friction between the bones. It is a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage.
