How Does Elastic Cartilage Differ from Other Types of Cartilage?
Elastic cartilage differs from other cartilage types in several ways:
Hyaline Cartilage: Hyaline cartilage lacks the dense network of elastin fibers seen in elastic cartilage and is more rigid. Fibrocartilage: Fibrocartilage contains more collagen fibers and is designed to withstand compressive forces, making it less flexible than elastic cartilage.
