|
hyaline function |
Supports and reinforces; serves as resilient cushion; resists compressive stress |
|
|
hyaline location |
Forms most of the embryonic skeleton; covers the ends of long bones in joint cavities; forms costal cartilages of the ribs; cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx. |
|
|
elastic cartilage function |

|
|
elastic cartilage location |

|
|
fibrocartilage function |

|
|
fibrocartilage location |
Intervertebral discs; pubic symphysis; discs of knee joint. |
|
|
bone (osseous tissue function |
Supports and protects(by enclosing); provides levers for the muscles to act on; stores calcium and other minerals and fat; marrow inside bones is the site for blood cell formation (hematopoiesis). |
