Question:
Which cartilage is present on the end of long bones ?
Which cartilage is present on the end of long bones ?
Updated On: Aug 1, 2022
- Calcified cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage
- Elastic cartilage
- Fibrous cartilage
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
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.

Concepts Used:
The Musculoskeletal System
The musculoskeletal system comprises bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and connective tissues. The skeleton contributes a framework for the muscles and other soft tissues. Together, they hold up our body’s weight, maintain our posture and help us move.
The parts of the musculoskeletal system are:
- Bones: Bones of all shapes and sizes support our body, protect organs and tissues, store calcium and fat, and make blood cells. A bone’s hard outside shell encircling a spongy center. Bones provide structure and form for our bodies. They work with muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues to help you move.
- Cartilage: Cartilage cushions bones inside our joints, along our spine, and in our ribcage. Firm, rubbery cartilage secures bones from rubbing against each other. We also have cartilage in our nose, ears, pelvis, and lungs.
- Joints: Bones come together to build joints. Some of the joints have a large range of motion like the ball-and-socket shoulder joint. Other joints such as the knee allow bones to move back and forth but not rotate.
- Muscles: Each muscle is made of thousands of extending fibers. our muscles allow us to move, sit upright and stay still. Some muscles help us to run, dance and lift. We use others to write our name, fasten a button, talk and swallow.
- Ligaments: Made of tough collagen fibers, ligaments attach bones and help stabilize joints.
- Tendons: Tendons associate muscles with bones. Made of fibrous tissue and collagen, tendons are resilient but not very stretchy.
