What is Hyaline Cartilage? (There are 4 subcategories)
Articular - ends of most bones at movable joints
Costal - ribs to sternum
Respiratory - larynx
Nasal - supports external nose
What is Elastic Cartilage?
flexible - external ear and epiglottis (guardian of airway)
What is fibrocartilage? (There are 3 types)
provides strength and shock absorption
intervertebral discs -pads between vertebrae
menisci - shock pads for knees
pubic symphysis - hip bones join anteriorly
