More About cartilage
Cartilage is a part of our body that helps us move. It is soft and smooth, so it does not hurt when we move. It is found in many places, like our ears and nose. When we are kids, our cartilage grows fast.
Every day, cartilage helps us run, jump, and play. It keeps our bones safe when we move. Without cartilage, our bones would rub together and hurt.
