Q. Which cartilage is present on the end of long bones ?

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2007

Solution:

Hyaline cartilage is present at the end of long articular bones. It provides a smooth articular surface to permit movement at joints. Elastic cartilage is found where support with flexibility is needed such as in external ears.
Fibro cartilage is a very tough substance and is used in place of the body where shock absorbers are needed eg, Discs between the vertebrae and in the knee joint.
