Sections. Cartilage is connective tissue located between bones. It provides a cushion in joints and gives structure to many parts of the body, including the ears and nose. It also forms intervertebral discs, the âshock absorbersâ between the vertebrae that help give the spine cushioning and flexibility. Cartilage cells are called chondrocytes. These cells produce the collagen that gives the cartilage structure, along with water and a glycoprotein called proteoglycan. There are three types of cartilage, distinguishable by the amount of collagen and other proteins located within the cartilage cells:
