Answer:

They are both made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix. 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.

explanation..

Bones :

It is a highly rigid connective tissue that forms the skeleton of vertebrates. They are the type of tissues which comprises of blood vessels and cells. A newborn baby will have around 300 bones; by the time the baby becomes an adult, only 206 bones would remain, as a result of bones being fused together.

The main function of bones are:

  • To serve as storage for minerals.
  • To provide structural support.
  • To protect the internal organs of the body.

Cartilage

It is a thin, fibrous, flexible connective tissue, which is mainly found in the external ear, larynx, respiratory tract, and the articulating surface of the joints. These cartilages lack blood vessels; therefore, the growth and development of these tissues are slower compared to that of other tissues.

There are three different types of cartilages, namely:

Hyaline cartilage: It serves as a shock absorber and allows the smooth movement of the bones at joints. They are mainly found in the nose, respiratory tract, and joints

Fibrocartilage is found in the knee, and it is tough and inflexible.

Elastic cartilage is found in-ear, epiglottis, and larynx. It is the most flexible cartilage.
