Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Cartilages are the type of supporting connective tissues, and they give strength framework and elasticity that supports the body. Cartilage also contains the matrix which is made up of a gel that is made of polysaccharides. The cells of the cartilages are known as “chondrocytes cells”.
