    Elastic cartilage, also known as yellow fibrocartilage, is a form of cartilage that gives specific portions of the body, such as the ears, both strength and elasticity. It serves as the skeletal foundation for the pinna as well as the lateral part of the external auditory meatus in the outer ear. The epiglottis, as well as the corniculate and cuneiform laryngeal cartilages, include elastic cartilage.
    • Elastic cartilage is a type of cartilage that provides support and flexibility, characterized by a network of elastic fibers within its matrix. It's more flexible than other cartilage types and can return to its original shape after being bent or compressed. Elastic cartilage is found in areas like the external ear (pinna), Eustachian tubes, and larynx.
