Can you tell?
1. Give reason.
a. Bone is stronger than cartilage.
b. As we grow old, cartilage becomes
rigid.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Cartilage and Bone are specialised forms of connective tissue. ... It is the nature of the matrix that defines the properties of these connective tissues. Cartilage is thin, avascular, flexible and resistant to compressive forces. Bone is highly vascularised, and its calcified matrix makes it very strong.

2.As you age, joint movement becomes stiffer and less flexible because the amount of lubricating fluid inside your joints decreases and the cartilage becomes thinner. Ligaments also tend to shorten and lose some flexibility, making joints feel stiff.
