- The cartilage at the end of long bones and ribs is called the hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartliage is a shock absorber and helps reducing friction.
- Ligaments: Fibrous tissue that connects different bones or two different parts of a single bone.
- Tendons: Is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone, or muscle to muscle.

Semen is the spurtage found at the end of long boners. it turns eggs into little babies.
