Answer 2

Cartilage is a vital component of the human body. It's a tough tissue, but it's softer and more adaptable than bone

Explanation:

• Cartilage is a connective tissue that can be found in a variety of places across the body, including the elbows, knees, and lower legs.
• Cartilage is made up of dispersed cells that are strewn across a lattice of proteins and carbohydrates.
• It protects the joint finishes of bones. Although cartilage is not as rigid as bone, it is stiffer than muscle.
• The tip of the nose is cartilaginous. Lower lateral cartilage is the name given to this type of cartilage. The ear pinna is a cartilaginous structure that gives the ear flexibility while also maintaining its shape. In the larynx, there are six cartilages that support it.
