Explanation

Hyaline cartilage is composed primarily of Type II collagen, which provides tensile strength to the cartilage matrix. This is distinct from Type I collagen (found in bone and tendons), Type III collagen (reticular fibers in soft tissues), and Type IV collagen (basement membranes). The Type II collagen is characteristic of all hyaline cartilage including articular surfaces.
