Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in various parts of the body, including joints, ears, nose, and between the vertebrae. It provides support and cushioning, allowing for smooth movement in joints and flexibility in structures like the ear. Unlike bone, cartilage is not as rigid and has a lower blood supply, which makes it slower to heal when injured. There are three main types of cartilage: hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage, each serving different functions in the body.
