Summary Introduction
To review:
Location of articular cartilages.
Introduction:
Articular cartilage is a form of hyaline cartilage that provides support through resilience and flexibility. Cartilage is the flexible connective tissue that is present in the surrounding of various joints and also some body parts such as external ear and respiratory tract. The joints are mainly of three types, namely, synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous.
