What does a combination of bones and cartilage form in your body?

A combination of bones and cartilage form the skeletal system in the body, providing support, structure, and protection for internal organs. Bones are hard and rigid, while cartilage is smooth and flexible, helping joints move smoothly and acting as a cushion between bones.


Cartilage is hareder than bone true or false?

False. You have it backwards. Bone is the hard structure that give your body form, posture, and strength. They are stiff and cannot bend. They are hard. Cartilage is the soft, flexible, yet tough tissue found in the tops of your ears, and the tip of your nose. When you are an infant, many bones are partly cartilage, especially the skull. When you start growing, these bones get bigger and harden into actual bones.


What is a caritilage?

Cartilage is the soft white substance that we have as bones when we are babies. Cartilage soon grows hard into bones as we grow older. The end of your nose is cartilage, the majority of your ear is cartilage as well. :)


What are the differences between bones and cartilage in terms of structure and function?

Bones are hard and rigid structures that provide support and protection for the body, while cartilage is a softer and more flexible connective tissue that cushions joints and helps maintain their shape. Bones are made up of calcium and collagen, giving them strength and durability, while cartilage is made up of collagen and proteoglycans, providing elasticity and shock absorption. Bones also contain bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, while cartilage does not have this function. Overall, bones are more dense and structured, while cartilage is more pliable and resilient.

How do you xxplain the importance of cartilage?

The ends of the bones are covered with a tough elastic tissue called cartilage. cartilage makes the ends of the bones smooth and reduces friction between the bones during movement cartilage is also present in various other parts of our body . you could feel cartilage in the upper part of your ear and in the front part of your nose . these parts are not as hard as bones and can bend


Why is cartilage hard on the nose but soft in the ear?

because its a special kind of cartilage called elasto cartilage instead of the regular fibriocartilage found near bones


Does cartilage have a flexible bone?

Cartilage does not contain bones nor is bone. Cartilage is soft to moderately hard tissue that makes your ear lobes, tips of your nose, joints between bones, and more more objects in your body.
