Cartilage
- Hyaline cartilage supports the skeletal system.
- Cartilage provides cushioning, flexibility, and support to joints.
Bone Functions
- One of the important functions of bones is to provide protection to internal organs.
Connective Tissue
- Osseous connective tissue forms the hard elements of the skeleton.
Bone Types
- The two types of bone are compact bone and cancellous bone.
