Cartilage /ËkÉrtÉ¨lÉ¨dÊ/ is a flexible connective tissue in animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.hondrification (also known as chondrogenesis) is the process by which cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chondroblasts and begins secreting the molecules (aggrecan and collagen type II) that form the extracellular matrix.
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.
