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.
Explain the functions of cartilage in your skeletal system. The ends of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery thick layer of tissue called cartilage. It is flexible because it acts as a shock absorber. It makes movement easier by reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.ection 2 - 4. Explain how your muscles, bones and joints work together to move your body. The action of muscles, bones and joints working together is like a lever. In your body, bones are rods, joints are fulcrums and contraction and relaxation of muscles provide the force to move body parts.
