The structure of elastic cartilage is very similar to that of hyaline cartilage, but in addition to the other components, its matrix has elastic fibres and interconnecting sheets of elastic material. This gives elastic cartilage an elasticity not present in hyaline cartilage. Elastic cartilage is found in the external ear, the walls of the external auditory canal, the Eustachian tube, the epiglottis and the larynx. 1, record 2, English, - elastic%20cartilage
