Elastic cartilage, also known as yellow fibrocartilage, is a form of cartilage that gives specific bodily components, such as the ears, both strength and flexibility. It supplies the skeletal foundation for the pinna and the lateral area of the external auditory meatus inside the outer ear. In addition to the epiglottis, the corniculate and cuneiform laryngeal cartilages also include elastic cartilage.
