IS cartilage strong?
Cartilage is strong and flexible, providing support and cushioning for joints. However, it is not as strong as bone and is more prone to damage and wear with age or injury.
What is a difference between bone and cartilage. 1. bones are more flexible than cartilage 2. bones are harder than cartilage 3.bones are larger than cartilage?
Bones are harder than cartilage, which is a firm but flexible connective tissue. Bones are also larger and provide more structural support and protection for the body compared to cartilage. Bones contain bone marrow, which is responsible for producing blood cells, while cartilage does not have this function.
Is a cartilage connective tissue?
no, but connective tissue surrounds the cartilage. a connective tissue is more like ligaments and tendons, but not cartilage.
What is the difference between adipose tissue and cartilage?
Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue that stores fat, providing insulation and energy reserves. Cartilage, on the other hand, is a type of supportive connective tissue that is more rigid than adipose tissue. Cartilage provides structure and support to areas like joints and the nose.
Does a small baby have more cartilage in its bones than it will have in later life because the cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells?
Yes, babies are born with more cartilage in their bones as this serves as a scaffold for bone development. As the child grows, the cartilage is gradually replaced by bone cells through a process called ossification, resulting in harder and stronger bones.
