Excerpt from Studies in Microscopical Science, Vol. 1: With Fifty-Three Lithographed Plates
Cartilage forms the enti re permanent skeleton of many of the higher animals whilst in others it constitutes a varying proportion of that structure, which ultimately in the highest vertebrates persists only in such situations as the articular ends of the bones between the ribs and sternum, the walls of the trachea and bronchi, the larynx, the interverte bral discs, sacro-iliac synchondrosis, symphysis pubis, interarticular situations, glenoid and cotyloid ligaments, the grooves for tendons, the ear, and in all parts where a decidedly firm yet less yielding structure than bone is required. In all other parts it becomes eventually replaced by bone, and in certain pathological conditions (enchondromata) invades other parts of the body.
