What are the features of Cartilage and Bone?
Cartilage and Bones both are types of connective tissues made up of cells embedded in an extracellular matrix.
Cartilage is firm, flexible tissue present in areas of the body such as ends of the ribs, ears, and nose, between the vertebrae in the spine, etc.
A bone is the hard tissue that has a calcified matrix that makes it very strong, thus forms the skeletal structure of the body.
Functions of Cartilage & Bones are:
Bone
It protects the body against mechanical damage, provides a framework and shape for the body, assists in the movement of the body, store minerals, and produce red blood & white blood cells.
Cartilage
It reduces friction at joints, supports the respiratory tract, acts as shock absorbers between weight-bearing bones to prevent bones from rubbing against each other, and maintains the shape and flexibility of the body.
