Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

What cartilage does do is that it keeps joint motion fluid by coating the surfaces of the bones in our joints and by cushioning bones against impact. It is not as rigid as bone, but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle tissue.

Answer:

There are no blood vessels in cartilage to supply the chondrocytes with nutrients. :)
