This cartilage is called hyaline cartilage because it is like glass and very smooth. It allows for easy movement in the joint.
The cartilage is there to stop bone rubbing against bone. It performs like a lubricant.
The cartilage helps cushion and reduce friction in the joint.
Cartilage in the elbow joint and knee joint cushion the bones in the joints so the easily glide over each other. As you age, these become thinner and finally disappear. The joint then are very painful.
Elastic Cartilage is found on the external ears and larynx.
