What does fibro cartilage do?

Fibrocartilage is a tough, dense type of cartilage that provides support and absorbs shock in areas of the body subjected to heavy pressure and tension. It is found in structures such as intervertebral discs, the pubic symphysis, and menisci in the knee joint. Its fibrous composition allows it to withstand mechanical stress while maintaining some flexibility, playing a crucial role in joint stability and overall movement.
