Cartilage
Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that
protects your joints and bones. It acts as a shock
absorber throughout your body. Cartilage at the
end of your bones reduces friction and prevents
them from rubbing together when you use your
joints. Cartilage is an important structural
component of the body. It is a firm tissue but is
softer and much more flexible than bone.
Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue
seen throughout the body. It serves a variety of
structural and functional purposes and exists in
different types throughout our joints, bones,
spine, lungs, ears and nose.
Muscles
There are about 600 muscles in the
human body.
Muscles is an organ that is a
mass of muscle tissue attached
at to bones and that helps in the
movement of a body part.
