Question

Answer 1

There are three types of cartilage:

Elastic cartilageFibrocartilageHyaline cartilage

Derived from the Greek word "Hyali," which means "glass,” hyaline cartilage is smooth and shiny. It is the most common type of cartilage, found in the nose, windpipe, and most of the body's joints.

Joint Cartilage

In a joint, hyaline cartilage is referred to as articular cartilage. This is because the cartilage covers bones' surfaces where they articulate, or meet to form the joint. For example, at the knee joint, the top of the tibia, the bottom of the femur, and the back of the kneecap are covered with articular cartilage.
