Answer:
There are three types of cartilage:
Hyaline - most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea. Is a precursor of bone.
Fibro- is found in invertebral discs, joint capsules, ligaments.
Elastic - is found in the external ear, epiglottis and larynx.
Explanation:
Cartilage is a resilient and smooth elastic tissue, a rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long bones at the joints and nerves, and is a structural component of the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral discs, and many other body components.
