- hyaline cartilage
- Erika Marie Columnas replied 4 years ago
  The most common type of cartilage is the hyaline cartilage, which has a pearl-gray semitranslucent matrix with randomly arranged collagen fibrils but minimal elastin. It’s usually present on joint surfaces and in the cartilage that makes up the fetal skeleton.
  
  Because it contains elastic fibres in addition to collagen, elastic cartilage, which is yellow in appearance, is more malleable than the other two types. The external ear, the auditory canal of the middle ear, and the epiglottis are all made up of it in humans.
  
  Tendons, which are dazzling white in color and located between bone and muscle, have the strength to transmit large mechanical pressures due to their fibro-elastic structure.
