Solution

Cartilage: The cartilage is a specialized, firm but flexible connective tissue. The cartilage is capable of continuous and rapid growth.
Bone: The bones are strong and nonflexible tissues and provide skeletal support to the body.
Characteristics Cartilage Bone
Supply of Blood Blood supply is restricted to the outer perichondrium. Blood passes through canals known as Haversian canals.
Deposition of mineral The mineral deposition in cartilage is low. Bone mineral consists of phosphates and carbonates of calcium and magnesium.
Protein complex The protein complex is called chondrin secreted by chondrocytes which are found in lacunae. The protein complex is called ossein secreted by osteoblasts which are found in lamellae.
