Cartigage acts as a bumper for joints; reducing the shock of impacts on the bones. It also acts as a reducer of friction when joints move. It sits between the ends of almost all the bones in the body where bone meets bone.

Amphiarthrosis

AC joint (Acromion Joint) SC Joint (SternoClavicle Joint)
What is a joint formed where a bony socket meets a cone shaped bony process?
Gomphosis
Which location we do not see hyaline cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage normal covers the articular surfaces of bones in typical synovial joints and primary cartilaginous joints. Certail joints do not have hyaline cartilage covering the bony elements. These include: 1. Fibrous Joints - skull sutures, gymphosis (teeth) and interosseus joints (radius and ulna shafts) 2. Atypical Synovial Joints (these have fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage covering the bones). These include the Temporomandibular (TMJ), Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ), Sternoclavicular Joint, and 2nd to 7th Sternocostal Joints.
Is the function of bursae to absorb the shock between bony structures in a joint?
False

AC joint (Acromion Joint) SC Joint (SternoClavicle Joint)
In bony thorax what is coastal cartilage?
It's the non-bony extension (continuation) of the ribs, that connects the ribs and the sternum (breast bone), thus forming a complete framework for the thoracic space.
What joint is in the ankle?
ankle joint or talocrural joint. this is a weight bearing joint. it connects the leg and foot.anatomically it is a hinge joint.stucturally it is a synovial joint.functionally it is an uniaxial joint.bones taking part: proximally: lower end of tibia and fibula.articulating surfaces of the malleoli.inferior transverse tibiofibular ligament.distally: superior, medial, and lateral articular surfaces of the talus.the articular bony surfaces are covered by hyaline cartilage.
Freely moveable joint?
A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage and in which some degree of free movement is possible.
Is a trout a cartilage fish?
No, they are bony fishes.
Are sharks bony?
No sharks are not 'bony'. The skeletal makeup of sharks is cartilage. Although cartilage is dense and can be bone-like it is significantly less dense than bone.
Is tuna a bony fish or cartilaginous fish?

What are the symptoms of chondromalacia?
Chondromalacia can affect any joint, but the most common location is inside the knee. It usually begins as a small area of softened cartilage behind the kneecap (patella) that can be painful. Eventually, more of the cartilage softens, and the softened cartilage can crack or shred into a mass of fibers. In severe cases, the damaged cartilage can wear away completely, down to the undersurface of the kneecap. If this happens, the exposed kneecap's bony surface can grind painfully against other knee bones. Also, bits of cartilage can float inside the joint, further irritating the cells that line the joint. In response, these cells produce fluid inside the joint (called a joint effusion).
Another word for cartilage?
Another word for the noun cartilage is ossein. Another synonym for cartilage is osseous matter. A related term for cartilage is bony process.
