Cartilage: The three types of cartilage. There are three types of cartilage: 1  Hyaline-most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea. 2  Is a precursor of bone. 3  Fibro-is found in invertebral discs, joint capsules, ligaments. 4  Elastic-is found in the external ear, epiglottis and larynx.

This is the type of cartilage found in your knee, as well as in between the vertebrae in your spine. Note how many chondrocytes are on this slide-only three! This makes sense, right? You want something like your nose or ear that can be damaged easily to be 'bendy,' so they don't break.
