Some disadvantages of having a cartilaginous skeleton include limited support and protection for the body compared to a bony skeleton, which may make the organism more vulnerable to injury. Cartilage is also less capable of withstanding heavy loads and may not provide as much stability for movement. Additionally, cartilage can be more prone to degradation and wear over time.

Is the xiphoid calcified or cartilaginous in children?
The xiphoid process is primarily cartilaginous in children and becomes increasingly calcified with age.
Where is the cartilaginous joint located?
You have primary cartilaginous joint between the growing bones. They are called as primary cartilaginous joint. You have secondary cartilaginous joint in mid-line of your body. For example pubic symphysis, a joint between manubrium sterni and sternum as well as discs between your vertebrae.
Do kangroos have endoskeletons?
Yes. Having an endoskeleton basically means that the skeleton is inside the body, instead of outside, which would be called an exoskeleton
What system is the fins belong?
Fins belong to the aquatic locomotion system of fish and other marine animals. They are specialized structures that provide stability, maneuverability, and propulsion in water. Composed of a bony or cartilaginous skeleton covered by skin, fins help organisms navigate their aquatic environment efficiently.
What do cartilaginous joints do?
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1] Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the manubrium and the sternum. Cartilaginous joints also form the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
Are there advantages and disadvantages of having a skeleton?
nothing
Do cartilaginous fish have a skeleton?

Is a perch a cartilaginous?
No, it has a skeleton of bone.
Do axolotls have a skeleton?
Yes, axolotls have a skeleton, which is primarily made up of cartilage rather than bone. This cartilaginous skeleton provides them with flexibility and support as they grow. Unlike many other vertebrates, the axolotl's skeleton remains largely cartilaginous throughout its life, even in adulthood.
Is the skeleton cartilaginous or bony during fetal development?
The skeleton is originally cartilaginous during fetal development. Over time, the cartilage is replaced by bone in a process called endochondral ossification, where bone tissue gradually forms and replaces the cartilage framework.
How is the skeleton of a shark to the skeleton of a jawless fish?
Sharks and jawless fish have cartilaginous skeletons, meaning their skeletons are comprised of cartilage.
What make a fish?
God knows
What are the advantages and disadvantages of having an exo skeleton?
advantages: superb protection, (like armour) camouflage disadvantages: must molt to grow, leaving unprotected temporarily
What are Cartilaginous?
Cartilaginous fish such as sharks, skates, and rays are vertebrates, whose internal skeleton is made entirely of cartilage and contains no ossified bone. Cartilaginous fish are also known as Chondrichthyes and have one or two dorsal fins, a caudal fin, an anal fin, and ventral fins which are supported by girdles of the internal skeleton.
Are rays bone fish?
No they are cartilaginous fish, meaning that they have cartilage instead of bones for their skeleton.
What type of fish has bony skeletons?
There are bony fishes and cartilaginous fishes.
Are bony fish extinct?
No bony fish are not extinct. Bony fish are fish with a bone skeleton unlike Cartilaginous fish which heave a cartilage skeleton and jawless fish which don't have a skeleton. -Erin 11
