Elastic cartilage it is located in the external ear, epiglottis and larynx. It provides strength, and elasticity, and maintains the shape of certain structure. In the picture, the parts include, elastic fibers which is responsible for elasticity and chondrocyte (in lacuna) which is the cells of the cartilage that produce and maintains the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and proteoglycans.
