Question

three main difference between cartilage and bone

Answer 1

Hey Biologists,

Cartilage is a strong, flexible and semi-rigid supporting tissue. It can withstand compression forces, and yet it can bend.

It is important in forming a template for the growth and development of long bones. And cartilage persists in regions such as the ends of bones (articular cartilage), the walls of airways (nose, trachea, larynx and bronchi).

The GAG is chondroitin sulphate, which is rubbery, and provides cartilage with resilience,

The fibres are either collagen, or a mixture of collagen and elastin fibres which provide cartilage with tensile strength, and elasticity respectively.


Bone is rigid, mainly because the extracellular matrix is calcified.

Thanks!!
