👉 Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that is found in various parts of the body, including bones, joints, and tendons. It provides support to these structures by providing cushioning and allowing them to move freely. In the context of anatomy, cartilage refers to the connective tissue that fills gaps between bones, such as those within a joint or between two bones. Cartilage is composed primarily of collagen fibers, which are made up of fibrous proteins that have been weakened over time
