3. Type II collagen is the type of collagen which is found in cartilage.
4. Elastic cartilage is found in the external ear.
5. Fibrocartilage forms the symphysis pubis.
6. Hyaline cartilage without a perichondrium is the type of the articular cartilage.
7. Interstitial growth is the normal mode of replacement of cells & matrix gradually worn away near the articulating surface of the cartilage.

Alright man, let's dive into cartilage. This is really important for understanding how our bodies move and are supported. **Cartilage Overview** Cartilage is a specialized connective tissue that functions primarily as a supporting tissue. It's got this firm, rubbery, resilient gel-like consistency...
