Cartilage: The three types of cartilage. There are three types of cartilage: 1  Hyaline-most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea. 2  Is a precursor of bone. 3  Fibro-is found in invertebral discs, joint capsules, ligaments. 4  Elastic-is found in the external ear, epiglottis and larynx.

Chondrocytes are the only cells normally found in cartilage. Chondrocytes produce and maintain the cartilage matrix. Hyaline or articular cartilage is very smooth and has low friction, allowing the bones in a joint to glide over one another upon movement.
