Best Answer

Cartilage is flexible connective tissue that is often found in joints near bones. Elastic cartilage is more flexible than hyaline cartilage. It is found between bones in joints to stop them from rubbing of bone tissue and to allow movement without pain. It is white and is shiny and hard. Also it is 10x slipperier than ice.
