there are 3 types of cartilage.
1Hyaline cartilage:
This type of cartilage has very thin fibers having same refractive index as the matrix of the cartilage and thus these fibers are not seen. Hyaline cartilage is the articular cartilage of long bones, sternum, ribs etc. Its color is bluish white and it is flexible.
2Fibrous cartilage:
This type of cartilage has numerous white fibers. It is present in the symphysis pubis, and sternoclavicular joint etc. Its color is glistening white and the appearance is opaque.
3Elastic cartilage:
This type of cartilage has numerous yellow elastic fibers. It is present in the ear pinna, external auditory meatus, Eustachian tubes, and epiglottis etc. Its color is yellowish and the appearance is opaque.

The thin layer of hyaline cartilage on articulating surfaces of bones is called what?
articular cartilage
What tissue that covers the articulating surface of a bone?
Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....
What covers the joint surfaces of long bones?
reticular tissue
What is the function of hyaline that covers the articulating surfaces?
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
What covers the ends of bones in adults?
The ends of bones in adults are covered with cartilage. Cartilage is a tough yet flexible tissue that helps to protect bones and allows them to move more freely where bone meets bone (a joint). There are different types of cartilage in the body. The cartilage that covers the ends of bones at a joint is known as articular cartilage, a specific type of hyaline cartilage.

What are the advantages of articular cartilage not being ossified?
The articular cartilage is a covering that is found at the ends of articulating bones inside a joint. Having nerves in that are can be painful when movement is made.
