Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue that provides structure and support to our bodies. It acts as a cushion between bones, allowing for smooth movement and reducing friction. Cartilage also helps to absorb shock and distribute weight, protecting our joints and preventing damage. Overall, cartilage is essential for maintaining the integrity and function of our skeletal system.
Humans have cartilage located in their bodies in areas such as the ears, nose, joints, and between bones.
The most prominent cartilage in the anterior larynx is the thyroid cartilage. The thyroid cartilage is a shield shaped structure made of hyaline cartilage.
The cartilage that forms the Adam's apple is the thyroid cartilage.
Costal cartilage is a long strip of hyaline cartilage
The type of cartilage that is attached to the sternum is hyaline cartilage. This specific type of cartilage provides cushioning and structural support to the sternum, helping to allow for rib cage movement during breathing.
Humans have cartilage located in their bodies in areas such as the ears, nose, joints, and between bones.
Bone, not hyaline cartilage, forms the bodies of human vertebrae. The vertebrae are considered irregular bones.
The skeletons of lampreys and hagfishes are made of cartilage rather than bone. This cartilaginous skeleton provides structure and support to their bodies without the need for true bones.
Humans do not have the same amount of cartilage in their bodies for their entire lives. Rather, as people age, the amount of cartilage in their body decreases. This can cause older people to experience joint pain.
No, Children have allot of cartilage in their bodies, which turns to bone as they grow older.
a sharks "skeleton" is made of cartilage.
To cushion and protect the articulating surfaces of bones.

because of the cartilage
They do have bones and that is a fact!!! They do not have bones, they have cartilage.
Intra-articular loose bodies are chondral (cartilage), osseous (bone) or osteochondral (bone and cartilage) fragments located within the joint cavity.
