The fibrous cartilage has a high content of collagenen, interwoven fibre bundles, which make it stable and elastic at the same time. Among other things, our intervertebral discs (Disci intervertebrales) consist of fibrous cartilage. Each of them forms a fibrous ring with a gelatinous core that absorbs shocks and vibrations. Also bones and ligaments are partly firmly connected with each other by fibrous cartilage.
