Cartilage
Tim Taylor is a senior writer at Innerbody Research focusing on human anatomy and physiology. Tim earned both his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and his Master's degree in Teaching from the University of Pittsburgh.
Cartilage is the smooth end of long bones and serves to provide a smooth surface to reduce friction for the movement of joints. Cartilage has no blood supply and therefore injury to the cartilage delays healing time of the joint.
