How is Fibrocartilage Different from Other Types of Cartilage?
Fibrocartilage differs from hyaline cartilage and elastic cartilage in several ways. Unlike hyaline cartilage, which has a smooth, glassy appearance, fibrocartilage is fibrous and less uniform. Elastic cartilage, found in the ear and epiglottis, contains elastin fibers, making it more flexible but less strong than fibrocartilage.
