Different types of cartilage exist, such as hyaline cartilage (found in the trachea and joints), elastic cartilage (found in the ear and epiglottis), and fibrocartilage (found in intervertebral discs and menisci of the knee). The absence of cartilage in bronchioles is a key anatomical feature distinguishing them from larger airways.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In which part or organ of human body cartilage is NOT found ?
