Fibrocartilage makes up most of the menisci of the knee, the pubic joint, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of the jaw.

Fibrocartilage is compose of cartilage( which is a connective tissue composed of cells called chondrocytes. This chondrocytes is highly rich in collagen and other proteins. ) Fibrocartilage is however located in the intervertebral disks of vertebrates. It function is to act as a cushion and provide protect between vertebraes.
Fibrocartilage (i.e Fibroelastic cartilage)
The class of cell structures are the organelles. These are sub-cellular structures composed of various proteins and other materials. The reproductive functions of eukaryotic cells occur in the cell's central body or nucleus.

intervertebral disc. in the knee
The intervertebral discs are made of outer annulus fibrosus, which is basically fibrocartilage.

Fibrocartilage is an extra strong type of cartilage, it is made up of white fibrous tissue and cartilaginous fibres which are arranged in an orderly manner. It also contains an abundant supply of Type I Collagen. This combination of fibres gives fibrocartilage its strong, flexible and elastic properties.Because of its strength and durability, fibrocartilage is found in areas of the body which are subjected to the most strain and impact such as the spine, knees and pelvis, where it provides support and strength and acts as a shock absorber.
