Questions & Answers

Q: What is cartilage and how does it differ from bones?

Cartilage is a flexible and elastic connective tissue that is semi-transparent. Unlike bones, it is not as hard and provides some level of flexibility.

Q: In which parts of the body is cartilage present?

Cartilage is present in specific areas such as the nose, ears, windpipe, and in the covering of bones and movable joints.

Q: What is the role of cartilage in joints?

Cartilage in joints, such as synovial joints or hinge joints, covers the bones and provides flexibility and support. It allows for movements and maintains the shape of the joint.

Q: How does cartilage support organs?

Cartilage maintains the shape and flexibility of organs. It provides support and allows for some movement without being as rigid as bones.
