Hyaline cartilage

Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant kind of cartilage with no fibres and transparent matrix. It is found upon articular surfaces at joints of long bones. It helps to from the nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchial tubes leading to the lungs.

Fibrocartilage (fibrous cartilage) carries thick dense bundles of white collagen fibres in matrix. They are the strongest cartilage. They occur in joints between vertebrae and also pubic symphysis.

Tendon is a very dense, strong fibruous connective tissue made of collagen fibres. Tendon connects a skeletal muscle to a bone.
