Cartilage contains no vessels or nerve, surrounded by a layer of dense irregular connective tissue (perichondrium) Hyaline provides support with flexibility and resilience: most abundant skeletal cartilage, include. Respiratory cartilages form skeleton of larynx and reinforce respiratory passageways. Elastic contain more stretchy elastic fibers and are better able to stand up to repeated bending: found in external ear and epiglottis. Fibrocartilage highly compressible with great tensile strength: consist of rough parallel rows on chondrocytes alternating with thick collagen fibers, occur in sites that are subjected to pressure and stretch knee, vertebrae. Axial forms the long axis of the body and includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage: these bone protect, support, and carry other body parts. Appendicular consists of the bones of the upper and lower limbs and the girdles (shoulder and hip bones: help us move and manipulate our environment. Has a shaft plus two ends, which are often expanded.
