Explanation:

Cartilage and bone are both modified rigid forms of connective tissue. Connective tissue has two main consitutents - cells and extracellular material.
Cartilage is a strong, flexible and semi-rigid supporting tissue. It can withstand compression forces, and yet it can bend.
It is important in forming a template for the growth and development of long bones. And cartilage persists in regions such as the ends of bones (articular cartilage), the walls of airways (nose, trachea, larynx and bronchi).
