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.

Elastic cartilage is the most flexible, which means it contains the most chondrocytes. This is the type of cartilage found in your ear. If you look at this slide, which is what elastic cartilage looks like under a microscope, you'll note quite a few chondrocytes.
