    Hyaline cartilage contains large amounts of collagen fibers and proteoglycans evenly dispersed throughout its ground substance. It is found in areas like the rib cage, trachea, and bronchi where strong support and some flexibility are needed. Fibrocartilage contains more collagen fibers than proteoglycans and thicker bundles of collagen fibers. It is located in areas that experience a great deal of pressure, such as knees, jaws, and between vertebrae. Elastic cartilage contains elastic fibers in addition to collagen and proteoglycans dispersed throughout its matrix. It is found in rigid but elastic areas like external ears.

    CARTILAGE
    Hyaline cartilage has large amounts of both collagen fibers and proteoglycans. Collagen fibers are evenly dispersed throughout the ground substance. It is found in areas in which strong support and some flexibility are needed (rib cage, cartilage within trachea & bronchi). It covers the surfaces of bones that move smoothly against each other in joints. It is involved in growth that increases the length of bones. Fibrocartilage has more collagen fibers than proteoglycans. Compared with hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage has much thicker bundles of collagen fibers dispersed through its matrix. It is slightly compressible and very tough. It is found in areas of the body where a great deal of pressure is applied to joints (knee, jaw, and between vertebrae.

    ELASTIC CARTILAGE (Rabbit ear)


    Elastic cartilage has elastic fibers in addition to collagen and proteoglycans. The numerous elastic fibers are dispersed throughout the matrix of elastic cartilage. It is found in areas, such as the external ears, that have rigid but elastic properties.
