Question

What is the function of cartilage tissue?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in our joints and by cushioning bones against impact. It is not as rigid as bone, but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle tissue.

Answer 2

Cartilage Function. Preventing rubbing of bones against each other is one of the main cartilage functions. For example, the cartilage in the knees and elbows works like a cushion in the bones and helps avoid joint pain. Elastic cartilage is the most flexible cartilage because it contains more elastin fibers.
