★ Difference between Bone and Cartilage:-

Bone

• Bones are the hard, mineralized tissues of the skeleton.
• It is strong and rigid.
• Bones are supplied with blood through blood vessels.
• They are made of inorganic salts of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
• They provide support and framework to our body.
• It protects the delicate internal organs such as brain, heart, and lungs.

Cartilage:-

• It is softer and more flexible than a bone.
• It does not have any blood supply.
• Cartilage is made of special cells, called chondrocytes, present in a special matrix of collagen fibres, elastic fibres, and inorganic salts chiefly of magnesium.
• It provides cushioning to the vertebrae and to the bones at the joints.
• It also provides flexibility, shape and support to the ears, nose and trachea.
