	biology - Cartilage
		Elastic cartilage (also called yellow cartilage) is found in the pinna of the ear and several tubes, such as the walls of the auditory and eustachian canals and larynx.
		Fibrocartilage (also called white cartilage) is a specialised type of cartilage found in areas requiring tough support or great tensile strength, such as between intervertebral disks, the pubic symphisys and at sites connecting tendons or ligaments to bones.
		In the fetus, at an early period, the greater part of the skeleton is cartilaginous; as this cartilage is afterward replaced by bone, it is called temporary, in contradistinction to that which remains unossified during the whole of life, and is called permanent.

	cartilage
		Permanent cartilage remains throughout life, as in the external ear, nose, larynx, and windpipe (or trachea).
		The most common is hyaline cartilage, which composes the pre-skeletal model and is found in adults at the joints, in the nose, and in several internal organs.
		Elastic cartilage is found in several parts of the ear and in the epiglottis, and is the most pliable type of cartilage.

		—Cartilage is a non-vascular structure which is found in various parts of the body—in adult life chiefly in the joints, in the parietes of the thorax, and in various tubes, such as the trachea and bronchi, nose, and ears, which require to be kept permanently open.
		Articular cartilage forms a thin incrustation upon the joint surfaces of the bones, and its elasticity enables it to break the force of concussions, while its smoothness affords ease and freedom of movement.
		The xiphoid process and the cartilages of the nose, larynx, and trachea (except the epiglottis and corniculate cartilages of the larynx, which are composed of elastic fibrocartilage) resemble the costal cartilages in microscopic characteristics.

		Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue.
		It is composed of cells called chondrocytes which are dispersed in a firm gel-like ground substance, called the matrix.
		Watchdog organization concludes this constituent of cartilage appears to be safe and effective for osteoarthritis, but more studies are needed.

	Over-the-Counter Drugs Used To Treat Osteoarthritis
		Clinical studies are lending credence to the use of both glucosamine and chondroitin to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
		Glucosamine is an amino sugar that occurs naturally in the body.
		Chondroitin is an essential part of a protein molecule that keeps cartilage elastic and flexible.
