Cartilidge is a type of bone just like the stuff in our noses and ears it is softer than bone.
It is lighter than bone, and fishes with this kind of skeleton don't sink, even thou they lack the swim bladder the heavier bone fishes use for balancing their weight in water.
In an embryo, the skeleton is originally made of cartilage. This cartilage gradually mineralizes and ossifies into bone in a process called endochondral ossification.
The skeleton of an embryo is originally made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that later undergoes ossification to become bone. During development, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process known as endochondral ossification.
A newborn baby's skeleton is primarily made of cartilage, which gradually hardens into bone over time as the baby grows. This process, known as ossification, enables the baby's skeleton to become stronger and more durable as they develop.
A newborn baby's skeleton is primarily composed of cartilage. As the baby grows, this cartilage gradually gets replaced by bone through a process called ossification. By the time a child reaches adulthood, their skeleton will be fully formed with bones.
Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that's flexible and resiliant. It acts as a cushion between bones in joints, providing shock absorption and allowing for smooth movement. Cartilage does not contain blood vessels, so it has a limited ability to self-repair when damaged.
Cartilage
No, some animals have an external skeleton like insects and crustaceans. Others have an internal skeleton like fish and birds and people. Some internal skeletons are made of cartilage like sharks and some are made of bone and cartilage together, like mammals.
Most of it is cartilage.
A shark's "skeleton" is made of cartilage while human skeleton is made of bone.
In an embryo, the skeleton is originally made of cartilage. This cartilage gradually mineralizes and ossifies into bone in a process called endochondral ossification.
The skeleton of jawless fish, such as lampreys and hagfish, is primarily made of cartilage rather than bone. Cartilage is a flexible and lightweight tissue that provides structure and support to these fish without the need for heavy bones.
Frogs have a skeleton made mostly of bone with some piecesmade ofcartilage.
The skeleton of an embryo is originally made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that later undergoes ossification to become bone. During development, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process known as endochondral ossification.
A shark's skeleton is made up of cartilage.
No. there is no bone in a sharks body. The sharks skeleton is made of cartilage.
Amphibians are vertebrates, meaning they have a backbone. The skeletal system is mostly made up of bone, but also contains some smaller portions of cartilage. Not all vertebrates have bone skeletons, Chondrichthyes (sharks, rays etc.) have skeletons made up entirely of cartilage. Amphibians however do not.
Manta rays, as well as sharks, are members of a group of fish called elasmobronchs. This means that their entire skeleton is made of cartilage. Elasmobranchs are vertebrates (have a backbone -- made of cartilage).
