A few animals don't have a skeleton. They are made up of cartilage, such as sharks. Our ears and nose are made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a stiff, rubbery tissue. It helps cushion bones and distributes weight evenly within the joints. There are three types of cartilage. They are articular cartilage, which covers joint surfaces, fibrocartilage, such as the small amounts of cartilage between the vertebrae in the spine, and elastic cartilage, such as the outer part of the ear. Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that bind bones together at the joints, such as the wrists, knees, and ankles.

What is the difference between ligaments and cartilage?
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support to joints. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that cushions and protects joints by covering the ends of bones, allowing smooth movement and reducing friction. Both ligaments and cartilage play important roles in maintaining joint health and function.
Which of the following cushios and proctects the bones where they meet?
Cartilage cushions and protects the bones where they meet, acting as a smooth surface for joint movement and absorbing shock to prevent damage to the bones.
What are the tough fibers or cords that hold the bones together?
Ligaments hold bone to bone in a movable joint. In contrast, tendons hold muscle to bone. Ligaments are made of dense fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments also hold our bones in place and support the organs.
What will happen if the bones at joint are rough and there are no ligament and cartilages?
If the bones at a joint are rough and there are no ligaments or cartilages to provide cushioning and stability, it can lead to increased friction between the bones, resulting in pain, inflammation, and potentially joint damage over time. Lack of ligaments can also compromise joint stability, increasing the risk of dislocation or injury during movement.
What is the knee joint made of?
The knee joint is made up of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). It is also supported by ligaments, tendons, and cartilage that help stabilize and cushion the joint during movement.

What are the importance of cartilage and ligaments?
Cartilage provides cushioning and support for joints, allowing smooth movement and reducing friction between bones. Ligaments connect bones to each other, providing stability and preventing excessive joint movement. Both cartilage and ligaments play crucial roles in maintaining joint health and function.
What type of joint contains a joint cavity articular cartilage synovial membrane and ligaments?
synovial joints have synovial cavities
Is a knee a joint bone or tendon?
The knee itself is made of ligaments cartilage and bone, and the kneecap is made of bone.
What do ligaments and cartilage do?
ligaments connect bone to bone cartilage is a connective tissue
What are cartilage and ligaments?
Joins are where two bones meet and articulate. Ligaments hold these joints together by attaching bone to bone. Cartilage is a smooth, soft tissue that separates the bones in the joint so that they do not directly rub on each other as they articulate.
What is the difference between ligaments and cartilage?
Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones, providing stability and support to joints. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that cushions and protects joints by covering the ends of bones, allowing smooth movement and reducing friction. Both ligaments and cartilage play important roles in maintaining joint health and function.
What is joints pain?
Joint pain can be caused by broken bone, damaged cartilage ligaments muscles or bone contact. as well as inflammation.
Explain why sprains and injuries to joint cartilages are particularly troublesome?
Sprains involve stretching or tearing of joint ligaments. Because ligaments are poorly vascularized, healing is slow. Cartilage injuries, particularly of the knee, are common in contact sports and may result from excessive twisting or high pressure. The avascular cartilage is unable to repair itself.
