A variation can mean something that is slightly different from similar items of its type (also a variant or variety). It can also apply to a difference itself (e.g. a variat â¦ ion in temperature). In mathematics, variation is the function that compares values among variables.
Cartilage is a type of elastic connective tissue which acts as rubber-like padding to cover and protect the ends of bones at joints. It is a dense matrix of elastic and collagen fibers which are embedded in rubber like ground substance.
Bone connective tissue provides structure and support, adipose (or fat) connective tissue insulates and provides energy, and blood connective tissue distributes oxygen to our tissues and removes carbon dioxide. Another integral type of connective tissue is cartilage. The main structural components of our bodies are bone, muscle, and cartilage. Bones are rigid, while muscles bend, stretch, and are flexible. Cartilage connective tissue is the perfect halfway point between these other tissues. It is not as rigid or as hard as bone, and it is also less flexible than muscle.
