"Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, thenose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs." (Wikipedia)
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
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.
The three places where cartilage is found is in the knee, ankle and elbow
Chondrocytes are the main cell type found in cartilage tissue. They are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix that gives cartilage its structure and function. Another cell type found in cartilage is chondroblasts, which are precursor cells that differentiate into chondrocytes.
Elastic Cartilage is found on the external ears and larynx.
Hyaline Cartilage
Articular cartilage.
The cartilage is found between all joints
The cartilage is found between all joints
It can be found in more than three places. But there are three types.Fibrous cartilage has a lot of collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.Hyaline cartilage is found in the embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, costal cartilages, cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.Elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in the matrix and it is found in the external ear and epiglottis.

Cartilage is a type of connective tissue found throughout the body, including in joints, the ear, the nose, and between vertebrae in the spine.
