Explanation:
Cartilage is a solid but semi-rigid and flexible connective tissue. Cartilage is a non-vascular connective tissue, consisting of cells embedded in a matrix of chondrin.
Bone is highly calcified, hard and rigid connective tissue. It is the major component of adult vertebra and endoskeleton. Besides its mechanical function of supporting the body architecture and internal organs as a framework, of protecting delicate organs like brain, heart etc, of forming muscles to facilitate movement and locomotion, the bone is also metabolically dynamic tissue which functions as a homeostatic reservoir of ions of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus etc.
