There are three types of cartilage tissue:

  • Hyaline cartilage - tissue about 2-4 mm thick, composed mainly of type II and type IX collagen, proteoglycans, chondrocytes and water (65-80%). Hyaline cartilage constitute a component of articular cartilage, larynx, cartilaginous rings of the trachea and bronchi, nasal septum [1].
  • Fibrocartilage - consists of a very dense network of collagen fibers (mainly type I collagen) and is a structural component of tendons, ligaments, pubic symphysis and intervertebral cartilage [2].
  • Elastic cartilage - mainly composed of elastin and type II collagen, and is characterized by high flexibility and deformability. The elastic cartilage constitute a component of ear canal, Eustachian tube, epiglottis and small cartilages of the larynx.
