Strong but very flexible extracellular tissue secreted by cells called

CHONDROCYTES 

1) Hyaline, strong and somewhat flexible

2) Elastic,

3) Fibrous 

Strong and somewhat flexible.

Larynx and trachea are reinforced by Hyaline. 

Joints are lined by Hyaline cartilage known as Hyaline cartilage 

More flexible than hyaline cartilage.

is found in structures such as the outer ear and

 epiglottis.

Provide support and more felxibility. 

Very rigid.

Found inplaces that strong support is needed

i.e. pubic symphysis 

(The anterior connection of the pelvis) 

and

Intervertebral disks of the spinal column. 

Nutrition for Cartilage?

AVASCULAR,

is not innervated.

doesn't contain blood vessels

Receives the nutrition and immune protection

from the surrounding fluid.

Carilage injuries takes longer to heal.
