	Cartilage
		Permanent cartilage (cartilage which does not become ossified) is found in the tip of the nose, in the external ear and in the walls of the trachea (windpipe) and the larynx (voice-box).
		Hyaline cartilage occurs in trachea, the larynx, the tip of the nose, in the connection between the ribs and the breastbone and also the ends of bone where they form joints.
		Hyaline cartilage is responsible for the longitudinal growth of bone in the neck regions of the long bones.

		Cartilage is rather rare in the adult humans, but it is very important during development because of its firmness and its ability to grow rapidly.

		Hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage, and fibrocartilage differ in appearance and mechanical proper ties, owing to differences in the composition of their extracellular matrix.
		As fetal cartilage is replaced by bone, hyaline cartilage remains in the epiphyseal plates at the ends of lone: bones, allowing these bones to lengthen between birth and adulthood.
		In humans, elastic cartilage is found in the auricle of the external ear, the walls of the external auditory canals and auditory tubes, the epiglonis, and the corniculate and cuneiform cartilages of the larynx.

		—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.
		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 is divided, according to its minute structure, into hyaline cartilage, white fibrocartilage, and yellow or elastic fibrocartilage.

	Cartilage Structure and Function
		The predominant collagen in articular cartilage is type II while the predominant collagen in meniscus is type I. The third major component of cartilage are the proteoglycans.
		As was mentioned in the section of cartilage composition, the interaction between the fluid and solid phase of the cartilage plays a significant role in the mechanical behavior of cartilage.
		In this case, cartilage is subjected to a fixed displacement at point B. We see a large rise of stress in the graph at the right at point B. Because the fluid cannot immediately leave, it carries a good portion of the load.

	Cartilage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cartilage is found in many places in the body including the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and between intervertebral discs.
		Hyaline cartilage is found lining bones in joints (articular cartilage or, commonly, gristle) and is also present inside bones, serving as a center of ossification or bone growth.
		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 and especially in the epiglottis.

	Cartilage Summary
		In general, cartilage is a tough, fibrous and blood vessel-free connective tissue that forms flexible linkages (such as in the ribs), supporting structures (such as in the ears and nose), and acts as a shock absorber in joints such as the knee.
		Compositionally, hyaline cartilage is made of water (75% by weight), collagen (10% by weight, mainly collagen type II), with the remainder being nonfibrous material, such as chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate.
		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 and other symphyses, and at sites connecting tendons or ligaments to bones.

		The perichondrium is a dense, relatively thin condensation of CT at the surface of the cartilage.
		Between the hyaline cartilage that constitutes the end of each vertebra is an intervertebral disc and intervertebral ligaments.
		In the intermediate region, the nuclei of the chondrocytes are situated in lacunae between distinct collagen fibers; the lacunae are the characteristic that distinguishes fibrocartilage from dense fibrous connective tissue, and the visible fibers distinguish it from hyaline cartilage.

	Hyaline cartilage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hyaline cartilage consists of a gristly mass of a firm consistence, but of considerable elasticity and pearly bluish color.
		The cells are contained in cavities in the matrix, called cartilage lacunae; around these the matrix is arranged in concentric lines, as if it had been formed in successive portions around the cartilage cells.
		Hyaline cartilage also contains chondrocytes which are cartilage cells that produce the matrix.

	Articular cartilage repair [KNEEinsights]
		Articular cartilage is found in all moving joints in the body (synovial joints) and its role is to protect the bones by keeping the surfaces of the bones apart from each other, to absorb shock and to help make movement smooth.
		Hyaline cartilage is a hard, white shiny material with a unique structure that creates a surface that allows the bones to glide easily past each other as the knee joint moves.
		Cylindrical plugs of articular cartilage attached to subchondral bone are taken from a non-weighting bearing area of the knee such as the edges of the femoral condyle with an instrument similar to a small apple corer.

		The elusive goal of articular cartilage restoration is a straightforward, cost efficient, simple to implement method of initiating hyaline cartilage repair at the time of index evaluation when indicated.
		Cartilage treatment at the time of index arthroscopy remains controversial and insurance companies applying their own interpretations of what is "medically necessary" further cloud this.
		Until this is possible in the human, for larger lesions, it is desirable to have as close to hyaline cartilage as now possible (autologous cultured chondrocytes, or allograft) to be able to accept the higher loads experienced in these larger lesions (greater than 2 square centimeters).

		Cartilage is frequently injured, often as a result of sports related trauma, but due to its avascular nature, articular cartilage has very limited capacity for repair.
		The fibrocartilage is made to resist tension forces, while the hyaline cartilage is made to resist compression forces, to enable smooth articulation, and to withstand long-term variable cyclic load and shearing forces.
		The dead spaces between circular grafts, the lack of integration of donor and recipient hyaline cartilage, different orientation, thickness and mechanical properties of donor and recipient hyaline cartilage are further sources of clinical concern.

		An area of agreement in "all camps" of cartilage restoration is that if malalignment exists, it must be corrected at the time of cartilage restoration treatment or prior to the cartilage restoration treatment.
		Cartilage restoration techniques in the face of malalignment have high incidences of failure and, therefore, are not advised.
		There may be instances in which a certain grade of hyaline-like cartilage tissue is quite acceptable; in fact, in certain instances, standard fibrocartilage may be acceptable (possibly for lesions less than 2 cm2 with otherwise normal mechanics and alignment).
