what is meant by cartilages
 Cartilage is a stiff, rubbery tissue. It helps cushion bones and distributes weight evenly within the joints. There are three types of cartilage. They are articular cartilage, which covers joint surfaces, fibrocartilage, such as the small amounts of cartilage between the vertebrae in the spine, and elastic cartilage, such as the outer part of the ear.
