Both substances hold together the bodies of various creatures such as mammals, fish and other vertebrates. Cartilage (also known as gristle particularly in the context of cooking) is firm, flexible elastic tissue; in vertebrates - at least, the higher orders - the unborn or very young have a lot of cartilage which is mostly replaced by bone as the subject matures, though ears, for example, stay as cartilage. Cartilaginous creatures such as sharks never develop bones and their skeletons are completely cartilaginous, though their teeth are of course formed with calcium. Bones are rigid connective tissue (which is why they're no good for ears, for example) formed mostly of calcium phosphate and collagen and, unlike cartilage, are rigid individually and flexible only where joints are available, such as knees, elbows, jaws and so on.
Cartilage and bone are both connective tissues that provide support and structure to the body. They both contain collagen fibers, but bone also contains calcium phosphate minerals that make it harder and more rigid than cartilage. Both tissues can undergo repair and remodeling.

What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?
The process of cartilage turning into bone is called ossification. During ossification, cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells, leading to the formation of bone tissue.
What is the cartilage articulates with another bone or bone process called?
The cartilage that articulates with another bone or bone process is called articular cartilage. It covers the ends of bones within joints and helps to reduce friction and absorb shock during movement.
What is the type of cartilage associated with bone function and development?
Hyaline cartilage is the type of cartilage associated with bone function and development. It serves as a precursor during the process of endochondral ossification, where it is gradually replaced by bone tissue. This type of cartilage provides structural support and helps with bone growth and repair.
Is your nose bone or cartilage?
It is cartilage until you get to the top of your bridge
Is the Achilles tendon bone or cartilage?
The Achilles tendon is neither bone nor cartilage; it is a strong fibrous band of tissue that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.
Is a sharks tooth cartilage or bone?
Teeth are teeth, neither cartilage or bone. But more similar to bone than cartilage.
What is a tough flexible tissue that is similar to bone?
cartilage
Is adipose and cartilage tissue similar?
they both are considered the building blocks of bone.
What is present in bone either bone or cartilage?
Bone starts out as cartilage and as it matures it becomes bone...
What cartilage articulates with another bone or bone process?
Articular cartilage
What cartilage articulates from bone to bone?
hyaline cartilage is located in between bones
What is the covering of a bone to which ligaments and tendons are attached?
cartilage
What is the term for the process of cartilage turning into bone?
The process of cartilage turning into bone is called ossification. During ossification, cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells, leading to the formation of bone tissue.
What do ligaments and cartilage do?
ligaments connect bone to bone cartilage is a connective tissue
Is your ear bone or cartilage?
The human ear (the bit that sticks out of the side of your head) is made of cartilage. However, inside the ear (in the middle hear behind the eardrum) there are 3 bones (the stirrup, the hammer and the anvil) made of bone.
Is it true that bone cartilage and tendons are muscle tissue?
No, bone, cartilage, and tendons are not muscle tissue.
What is the fraction of the cartilage?
Cartilage is the soft bone in i.e. your ears and nose. A break in this bone is a fraction.
