Cartilage and bone are both stiff connective tissues which form an essential structural component of the body of animal organisms‚ including human beings. However‚ they are also quite different in both composition and function. Bones are extremely hard‚ dense tissue which provide a supportive frame for the body ‚ as well as serving as production and storage centers for cells and minerals‚ whereas cartilage is a more flexible tissue found in more specific locations of the body‚ essentially midway
