Answer:

Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue found in many parts of the body. It can bend a bit, but resists stretching.

  • Its main function is to connect bones together.
  • Another function of cartilage is to create a place on which bones can form when they are first developed.
  • It also helps to protect the places where bones work against each other: the joints.
  • In some fish like sharks cartilage forms the whole of the skeleton.

hope it helps..
