What is the perichondrium?
The perichondrium is a layer of dense irregular connective tissue which surrounds the cartilage of developing bone. It consists of two separate layers: an outer fibrous layer and inner chondrogenic layer. The fibrous layer contains fibroblasts, which produce collagenous fibers. The chondrogenic layer remains undifferentiated and can form chondroblasts or chondrocytes. Perichondrium can be found around the perimeter of elastic cartilage and hyaline cartilage, but not fibrocartilage. Perichondrium is a type of Irregular Collagenous Ordinary Connective Tissue, and also functions in the growth and repair of cartilage. Once vascularized, the perichondrium becomes the periosteum.
Why is cartilage important?
Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue. It is composed of collagen fibers and/or elastin fibers, and cells called chondrocytes, all of which are embedded in a firm gel-like ground substance called the matrix. Cartilage is avascular (contains no blood vessels) and nutrients are diffused through the matrix. Cartilage serves several functions, including providing a framework upon which bone deposition can begin and supplying smooth surfaces for the movement of articulating bones. Cartilage is found in many places in the body including the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.Gotten from yahoo answers.

What are three places can cartilage be found?
It can be found in more than three places. But there are three types.Fibrous cartilage has a lot of collagen fibers and is found in the intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis.Hyaline cartilage is found in the embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, costal cartilages, cartilage of the nose, trachea, and larynx.Elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in the matrix and it is found in the external ear and epiglottis.
Where cartilage is found at the elbow joint.why is the cartilage there?
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.

Where is cartilage found in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage is cartilage which covers the surface of the bone in synovial joints. Its function is to reduce friction between the bones. It is a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage.
