What type of tissue is articular cartilage and what is it's function?
Articular cartilage or Hyaline cartilage is connective tissue made up of strong collagen fibres. It provides a protection over the ends of bone and reduces friction where the bone forms an articulation (joint), hence the name articular. It also acts as a shock absorber.
What type of cartilage covers the articulating surfaces of bones?
there are 3 types of cartilage. 1Hyaline cartilage: This type of cartilage has very thin fibers having same refractive index as the matrix of the cartilage and thus these fibers are not seen. Hyaline cartilage is the articular cartilage of long bones, sternum, ribs etc. Its color is bluish white and it is flexible. 2Fibrous cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous white fibers. It is present in the symphysis pubis, and sternoclavicular joint etc. Its color is glistening white and the appearance is opaque. 3Elastic cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous yellow elastic fibers.
