Which cartilage is present on the end of long bones -The ends (articular surfaces) of long bones at synovial joints are covered with hyaline cartilage, called articular cartilage.
Its smooth, glassy surface reduces friction and absorbs shock during movement.
Elastic cartilage is found in the pinna and epiglottis, fibrous cartilage in intervertebral discs and the pubic symphysis, and calcified cartilage in parts of long bones of frogs and in the suprascapula.
So hyaline cartilage is present at the ends of long bones.
