What Is Cartilage?

Cartilage

Say: KAR-tul-ij

Touch the tip of your nose or the top of your ear — that's cartilage. This strong, flexible connective tissue supports and protects bones. It's bendable, not hard like bone, and is found in various parts of your body, including between bones so they don't rub together.
